Omg this was a good one doing the 2 sports i like in 1 hiking and biking and technical decents 😁🫣
Not much in the way of climbing legs today. Probably not helped by the headwinds. An absolute bogfest on Whinstone Le Tor. One disc deep WTF moment as I nearly went OTB in one bog as my front wheel disappeared. Closely followed by another, and then just for good measure another. Lots of swearing, lots of heavy breathing, and a few smiley moments.
Great ride and a long overdue catch up with an old friend, weather amazing after the rain we have had, shame about smashing my MECH..🤣🤣...trail side repair then all good to carry on with a single speed E-Bike to get us home..🚴🚴👌
First real time doing some technical riding clipless. First climb and lose rocky descent felt terrible, very nervous and low on confidence. As the ride went on it definitely improved. Probably a combination of…. 1) It’s been a while since I’ve ridden techy stuff. 2) Massively out of practice on the MTB. Feels so alien. Nice ride though, weather improved throughout. Will head back soon and hit some other descents clipless and see how I get on.
Cracking ride guiding Chris on his first taste of MTB in a few years. Coming from a Roadie/Tri background fitness was never going to be a problem. He managed everything superbly after the initial shock of the first climb! Very misty early on, but soon cleared up. Not a drop of rain and zero wind all day. Almost perfect Peaks riding conditions. Cracking day.
Plenty of climbing (some quite intense) on this route but the rewards are fantastic views and some great techy descents.
Just the one run recorded, actually Mary... https://youtu.be/TF9YBIkhGFA?si=nW7PqJpf7Awg6nXd
Another day. Another guided ride. This time I was taking Josh on some of the trails around Ladybower. Some tech, some fast’n’flowy, and as with most places in the Peaks, we did as much climbing as descending. Gorgeous day. So unbelievably hot. Not a cloud in the sky.

In the northern part of the Peak District, also called "Dark Peak", we could perform a whole series of tours as true classics. But there is a round that stands out and would call just about any local if you ask about the tour in this area. This round brings together everything that is so much fun biking
