Wasted some time tweaking my rear mech so lost some valuable daylight, cutting down the ride time but I had a nice little 17 mile ride along the curiously named Clay Dick Track and across to Fermyn Woods which is a 'working forest' run by the Forestry Comission.
This was a MASSIVE load of dirt nearly as tall as my EWR that has been dug out by Foxes, Badgers or Rabbits.....I've no idea which  Badass MoFo Bull giving me the eye (check the size of his balls  ) Woods Bike in the woods  Forest trail - Fermyn Woods  Original Woods Bike on the woodpile  Thursday, October 1

Mr K's Day in the Peaks came around again for another year and despite initial scepticism about numbers, around 23 vintage MTB's turned out for the 22 mile ride in Derbyshire's Peak District. A good day was had by all and no serious injuries were incurred. I took my Pace RC200 as it seemed the perfect choice for the terrain, plus my EWR wasn't quite ready
 The Pace has Gore RideOn cables to keep all the mud and shit out, excellent brakes and 22-32-42/11-32 gearing for all them big hills  It got ridden hard all day, getting airborne more times that I would have liked and ridden over large rocks, tree roots, loose gravel, streams and anything else that got in the way. Lots of comments and pix can be found HERE and some great photo's can be found HERE. Below are a few pix of my Pace in action... Nearing the end of the climb to the Radio Mast near Brough (Gus, me, Mark and Ned)  Amphibious Pace....  Meet the local wildlife  Mam Tor heading for Hollins Cross  Jaggers Clough  |
