Going up to visit my mate this weekend. He has recently moved to just outside Stoke, so thinking a mission into the Peaks is needed. Can anyone recommend me some good riding for a full day out?
Both fairly fit, love the downhills, so the steeper/faster/techier the better.
Cheers!

Start in Hope. If you've got a GPS i'll email you a gpx file of a decent ride including the Beast and Lockerbrook.

If it stays dry this weekend, I think a ride including cut gate would be great for you. We all getting excited about it on the other thread! 🙂 dependng how fit your feeling it could be included in a loop with some classic ladybower stuff. Sure someone will be along shortly with a gpx.

Cheers for that Sambob. Looks good.

Hoochylala, where abouts is cut gate, North or South of Derwent Reservoir? Sounds like the place to be.

Excellent. Thanks again. As long as I have a rough idea of the right area to explore the map will do the rest. 🙂

I have a JPEG with cut gate route indicated on it roughly if you want me
to send it to you? May be of some use.
