Loads of good riding over Edale way.
I quite fancy a ride out there this weekend (possibly Jacob's Ladder loop), I can drive out too.

I really want to go, ill have to see how i feel on sunday morning, so i can't promise. What time you guys thinking of going, I was thinking of riding out to edale area(if i make it out of bed), so don't worry about a lift for me.

I posted a good fast but very techical loop arround edale/ladybower, can be done as an extension to the usual stanage loop but means we won't get back untill about 4 or 5ish so bring lunch and something sweet to keep energy up (ill get some flapjack made up).
Weather is expected to be showers and cloudy with a little wind on the tops, bring plenty of layers and a waterproof.
See you all sunday

At the moment the plan looks like this:
Colin said he'd drive out but can only take three so if anyone else has a car they are more than welcome to come along .
we will be leaving the art tower at ten with the aim to get a good loop in.
I think there is still enough people around to get another shorter ride leaving at eleven doing the usual Sheffield routes. if people post there interest up everyone will know whats going on.

shotgun that last seat in the car.
Theres a train as well at 8:20am gettign there for 9:30ish, not the greatest timing but I think theres engineering works so the timetables all over the place.

Arrr, 'twas a proper grand ride we did, plenty of hills followed by a few more hills and then a couple thrown in just for the hell of it.
Route incase anyone is interested:
Hope->Broken road->Mam Nick->Greenlands->Hollins Cross->Black Tor Farm->Jaggers Clough->Hope Cross->Potato Alley->Rowlee Farm->Lockerbrook->Fairholmes->Crook Hill Farm->Hag Farm->Wooler Knoll->Roman Road->Hope.
6 Big Climbs but also 6 classic descents. no wonder I was knackered at the end.
