Day Trip - Peaks: Sun 19 Oct Empty Day Trip - Peaks: Sun 19 Oct

Post  Big Gav 2008-09-17, 10:33

I am planning a ride for Sunday in the Peak District.

Dependant on the weather I was hoping to do Edale, Mam Tor and perhaps even Jacobs Ladder.
This is the very pinnacle of mountain biking and should not be underestimated.
Details to be confirmed but I am hoping to start at 10a.m (which probably means 10.30) and will start form Hayfield.

If the weather is poor we will have to do a more safer ride as J.L is tough even in the dry!

Watch this space for more info.

PS If there is enough interest there may well be a road ride planned also for the Saturday (the day before)
Cheers!
