I'm currently planning a day of off-road fun around the Dark Peak on the above date. I'm inviting the staff from the shop where I'm working over the summer but also want lots of Uni club members along too.
Route is not yet decided and I'm open to suggestions for places to take in during the day as I'm far from proficient at finding all the spots you guys already know.
It would be nice to make a short weekend of it, possibly starting with an evening out on the 11th (again... open to suggestions, but not too late as we'll be too tired to ride the next day). The shop guys obviously wont be able to make it until well after closing time at 6pm on Saturday.
This is open to everyone in the club, but obviously you have to own/get hold of (in a legal way :S ) an MTB for the day. There is a strong possibility that both of our excellent cytech qualified mechanics will be there...but bear in mind it will be their day off so while they might be able to help out with minor repairs out on the trail they wont be wanting to bleed brakes, service forks/shox etc all night long!!!
If anyone wants to do this but hasn't got a house in Sheffield for that weekend, I might be able to offer a space in my house but I'm saving these for first refusal by the shop staff so I can't guarantee anything.
Please register your interest (if at all anyone is interested
) and I can take things from there...
Also...any Questions??
