Had a great ride in the Peak today in the glorious sunshine  Grin

We rode the route in this months MBR as it has some of the best technical downhill sections in the Peak (also some killer hills)

Few pics


First Casualty of the day - gave Iain my emergency inner tube. it turned out to be a 2.5 DH tube which weighed as much as his wheel!!!lol


Drop down to the Ladybower Inn


My bike having a rest


The view across to Mam Tor


Climbing up to Hope Cross


Hope Cross


My Beast


Quick stop for a snack


Iain coming down the most technical descent in the Dark Peak - Hope X Descent


Iain trying to look like he enjoyed it!

A great days riding and a good possible route for the Group ride next month.

Haha I didnt see you take hardly any of those photos!
Shows how far behind I was most of the time that you can whip your camera out, take the pics, put it back and then pretend you only just stopped Wink

Was a good day (apart from Hope Cross descent, I hate that track!!) cheers mate, next I show you round Cannock?

Ha Ha, see who says Meta 6's cannot go uphill!!!! Sneaked in a few shots now and again. You will have to take your Vholdr out next time to try and capture any comedy moments! Like when i went over the bars going down from Whinstone Lee Tor.  Shocked
