Hi,

Anybody fancy going for a ride in the peaks this weekend? I'm visiting from Finland for the week. I'm not superfit, and my tyres are pretty useless in the mud, so i wont be quick.

Cheers,
Rich

btw, I may need to cancel at last minute incase i need to go north. My sister's due to have a kid this weekend. 🙂

We're riding from Fairholmes tomorrow at half 8, you're more than welcome to join us as long as you're not fast or fit. Or a dick 😉

Be a shortish ride with lots of talking and generally being chilled.

@FMC - do you mind if I join you?

I can assure you that I am neither fast or fit.

What are ground conditions like in the West Sheffield/Peaks area at the moment? I am visiting daughters in Sheffield and am hoping to be allowed out for a couple of hours Sunday morning.

In fact anybody have a recommended XC route in the Hathersage/Hope or Castleton areas for a couple of hours?

What are ground conditions like in the West Sheffield/Peaks area at the moment?

a wonderful mix of wet+hard dirt, wet+sloppy mud, slippery leaves, slippery roots, slippery rocks, slippery grass, and slippery muddy roads.

in other words 'prime'...

the weather forecast isn't bad tomorrow, enjoy!
