Got a day off tomorrow and thinking of doing that well trodden path from Fairholmes, up a bit, down a bit and come out aside that pub, up a bit more, down potato alley (or maybe the beast) up through that farm and then down back to Fairholmes (I'm sure that ride should have a catchier title).... Anyone been round that way today? Is it all rideable given the amount of rain of late?

Thanks 😉

Just do it!!
Been there today, it's wet and we didn't do the first up then down to pub, that will be a bogfest but otherwise it's fine!

Ruined in my opinion.

I did that route two weeks ago (I call it 'This is Ladybower' because that's what a book calls it). The descent down to the Inn was a total quagmire and the climb on to the Roman Road (via Aston) was very slippery.

It's rained a lot since then.

Was up today.. Screaming mile was mint. Cut Gate was tough pedal through. A touch boggy, nothing more.

Bit irresponsible to ride Derwent edge at the minute. Sprocker is right, Jacobs loop minus rushup edge is dry
