Regular Peak District Night Ride?

[Mark E]

Or fox house? Don't mind really

[HopeValleyPaul]

Hi Paul, is 6.30 at ringing low any good for you? Next to the Norfolk arms?

Sounds good. Will come up over Stanage pole/fullwood lane.

[Mark E]

Great, see you at the norfolk arms at 6.30

[HopeValleyPaul]

Do you want to reschedule for tomorrow night ? The weather is appalling down here.

[HopeValleyPaul]

Anyone out tomorrow or Tuesday? Can't remember Mark if you could only do Tuesday?
Could meet a bit earlier as I'm not working

I'm not going to be able to make this monday as working late. Could maybe do tuesday though, will check...

[Mark E]

Hi Paul/Ian. Sorry only just seen this. Not sure about tomorrow, but will post up if I can get out in the evening-morning ride might be more likely
As I'm off this week.

[ianfitz]

Not going to be tonight for me either...

[RIP]

Technically not a "night" ride, in as much as it's an, er, "day" ride; but on Weds will be doing something like Calver (early PM) - Eyam - Bradwell Moor - Hope for Cheshire Cheese beer/nosh about 6pm. 30 mins of night ride (to allow me onto this thread) to crash out near Jaggers (ta IanF) or Wooley Knoll. Thurs to Mam Tor - Tideswell - Great Rocks - Chelmorton - maybe over to Longnor - Priestcliffe - Monsal - Longstone Edge - Calver. Boozers/riders welcome. Black tie and Postman Pat horns optional.

Anyone about next week? Weather prospects are looking nice and I'm thinking of getting out midweek. Wouldn't mind some company and expertise.

Thinking of a ride on Tuesday next week. not sure of where or when yet, likely 7pm but flexible really

[cyclingtiger]

Alas Tuesday is my one evening I can't do due to an ongoing regular commitment to tramp beers and bike polo.

Wednesday or Thursday are good for me though.

It's not usually a Tuesday

[cyclingtiger]

Wednesday looking a bit mince weather wise so probably going to aim to head out on Thursday and see if I can't find a bit of mucky fun.

[cyclingtiger]

It's looking lovely so definitely out tonight. Probably via Moorwood Lane, Wyming Brook, Stanage Pole and back into town via the bridlepath running over the top of Totley Tunnel.

[ianfitz]

I think I'm going to have today and tomorrow as easy days before the jennride on Saturday.

Done quite a bit in the last 10 days so could do with a couple of easy days

[cyclingtiger]

Fair do's.

I'm a bit busy with other nonsense next week. Might see how it looks the week after.

The after I'll be doing 'a bit of a ride' up in Scotland. May not want to look at a bike for a while after that

[cyclingtiger]

Well that was a nice evening out. Lovely hazy views over the Hope Valley and Mam Tor, finally got to see the new pole at Stanage and tried out a new trail which was a mix of puddles and technical. Temperature's taken a nose dive though. Not quite enough extra layers taken out.

[cyclingtiger]

Can anyone be tempted out on Thursday (June 9th)?

[adjustablewench]

I need to make an effort to get out more - so if anyone's thinking of doing a peak ride one evening and fancies some (fairly slow atm) company can you let me know :)

Mark and I have been out most Mondays or Tuesdays, will try to get a regular monday slot booked in for autumn and winter. Currently in the Pyrenees until mid August so won't be around until then.

There was a talk of a womens regular off road ride. I know Jo, Jo and Jen who are keen as they had all mentioned to me individually that they'd like to do more off road riding. I can put you in touch with them via FB. Not that you are unwelcome to join us (or that men are banned from the other ride either - I went on the first one)

[adjustablewench]

thanks Ian - had seen your FB post with one of the Jo's on - not sure i know who the others are.

[cyclingtiger]

Going to head out for a first bivvy on Thursday, route TBD. Not fast, company welcome.

[Karl]

I might be up for this. I've got to build the wifes bike up for the weekend so will let you know Wednesday for definate. What's the initial plan?
