Slow Rides For Unfit People - Rutland ROAD Ride Sun 9th Sept

Here's my Ladybower Route, it avoids 'The Beast' which in my opinion may be too hard and technical for some of our group.

I think a route around the Castleton/Edale/Mam Tor area needs to be thrown together....

Where's my map....?

That's the one I was thinking of

Never done it and I hear it's a bit tricky in both directions

do not be decieved, the video doesn't show just how steep this is.

puddle-rider

I did CaveDale once going up and it's on my list of never again! Mind you once you get to the top it turns into a nice ride.

Going down is a challenge, almost up there with the Beast and Jacobs Ladder.

News Update

First downhill Vid from the Cut Gate Ride on the 1st will be online in the next hour

Including Mine and Mike's fall's

kangaroo

i think for this one well stick to the ladybower best bits route
if the beast is in that route, then that bit will be altered

sounds though theres plenty of ideas for more peaks rides, and thats no bad thing

Yeah, the map you posted does include the Beast

kangaroo

is there a way to avoid the beast but still stay roughly on route

puddle-rider

Yes there is roo, just go straight on at hope cross, down potato alley and cross over to Rowlees farm and pick up the Lockerbrook descent from there.

hellooooo caz....i went out for 3 hrs yesterday on a flat trundle.....my ribbies were a bit achy when i got home, hopefully they will be healed better by the end of the month....my x-ray scan will arrive at the docs 2moz so will see what the damage is.

sparrowlegs78

Fingers crossed it's not bad news....lets hope for bad bruises
Caz xxxx

rottitera02

Yeah...i hope its just bruises.....i have a charity ride of 28 miles to do on the 13th of this month and have collected loads of monies already so will have to do it...i rode for about 22 miles yesterday so i reckon even if my ribbies are fractured or broken i will still do it....its on the flats around the wirral so should be ok.
