Hi - a new thread for these as the Peak one is just getting too long and confusing. Next one planned for July 11th - usually meeting in Crookes on a Weds eve about 7.30 but could vary the venue if others interested in joining us. Mixed group so anyone welcome. Aim to ride for 1.5-2 hours, currently don't need lights if the weather OK...

does anyone fancy this monday or wedsnesday - something short like Blacka? (hour half max) 6pm start.

Sorry out of action next 2 weeks Could poss do Mon 9th depending on if my flight home is on time or not!

ok no worries Ally maybe meet you somepoint over the next month then.

anyone else free?

Ads - i should be ok 4 next wednesday, although having a gastroscopy tues - nice:( so have to make sure the sedative has worn off.

There must be some other short routes we can do other than Blacka. We could start out at Fox House and go out towards Stanage, and back across Burbage. There's a great climb 4 you - from Stanage popular end up to Burbage !!!!

Usually climb on a Monday.
What you doing this Friday - we'll be at Edge if you fancy some routes or bouldering.

Hey oooo good luck on the gastro.... hope its ok.

def up for weds; i don't mind which ride we do as long as its not too long and its near foxhouse side of Peak.
we could do the stanage-burbage one or calver etc no probs. :)
cool will email you nearer teh time to arrange then matey.

im away all weekend start from midday friday (got dentist in leicester so staying over for weekend to see parnets and mates)
Have a good climb though. might join you on Monday....

Am now the proud owner of some Humvee baggies so I too can look cool... may have to keep the lycra on underneath thou... chafe potential looks formidable.. will have their first proud Sheffield outing on the 11th! I may be free on evening of the 9th too if anythings happening..

Hi Ruth/ anyone - still up for Weds night? My friend Ruth would like to join us she lives Ecclesall way so wonder if we could start at Hunters Bar again and head out through the parks?

Will be riding again this Wednesday evening all being well. Not sure what time yet thou...

Not around this Weds or next Catch you soon

May ride this Wednesday evening, August 1st, not completely sure as need to get packed up for selkirk trip in new campervan..(very exciting!!) but very likely. Think me boys, Dave and Adi 'll be going out too. Anyone else fancy coming? Could ride from Crookes or Hunters Bar. Ally are you back in circulation yet? Treehugger? Hazel? Caroline? anyone else?
Gets dark at 9.15 ish i think so lights just in case may be a good idea..

i dont have any lights :(

I don't have any lights either.
my shopping list is growing rapidly since starting biking!

yea what an expensive hobby - i have a wish list - it just keeps growing adn growing!

Just meant a wee rear one, nowt fancy, just make sure can get home safe... not for throwing self down rocky bits in dark...will be home by then!!

mmmmh????!!!!

May bow out this Weds am absolutely knackered have overdone it the last few weeks (regrettably not that much cycling mostly just work being absolutely vile did 4 12hr days last week) Will text you Ruth if I change my mind. Should be up for the following week though. Have visitors/ festivals for the next few weekends

Had forgotten am doing on call on other side of the city til 6pm tomorrow afternoon so may or may not get home at decent hour depending on what gets called thru, if interested in riding prob best to txt me at 6.30ish to see if stuck over in Lowedges or getting bike out of the cellar!

Sorry to hear work being so vile Ally... there's a full time job going south of Barnsley! And conditions sound much better than where u r!!

i've provisionally arranged shortish and leisurely ride Thurs with Ads and maybe Krine. So Ruth if you cant do Wed what about Thurs? Was thinking maybe 6pm at Bridge Pub. Ads I've found a superb, and much easier way of climbing out of Calver you'll be pleased to hear.
Option of Curbar Hill at end if any one wants more punishment.

sounds good India.
I should have my new seat post by then too, so I won't have to risk empailment (seat post has a crack in it... luckily noticed it)

6pm at the pub is no probs.
I can offer a lift from Walkley if anyone needs it too.
