Totally get that, people come from all over the UK (and the world in some instances) to ride the Peak District because of how gnarly (dude) it is.

What we showed you yesterday was kind a dip into the riding here, there's rides like Cutgate or Jacob's Ladder (and the Beast) that are more challenging than yesterday.

Potato Alley is a proper head fuck because it's just a carpet of loose rocks...

You probably also get now why that bash guard under my motor is smashed to fuck, if you properly let rip down some of those rocky descents (like the last one before the ladybower Inn) all you can hear is the sounds of those rocks kicked up by your front wheel smashing into the down tube and the motor.

BTW, did you go to the Yorkshire Bridge Inn?

A 625 battery will see me, at 16 stone, typically do 27 miles and 3,000 foot of climbing in Turbo.

BPW on the Liv today. Got 4 runs in and not sure the battery would manage the5th.
It's also playing up again. Not switching off but power wouldn't go up from 1dot.
It was surprisingly good though here and happy on all red and blue trails
