Peak based winter bivy (the week after the proper ones!)

[ianfitz]

As thread title really. I'm not able to make the 'proper winter bivy' so will head out the weekend after.

Thinking Saturday lunchtime until Sunday lunchtime. Route, pub and bivy spot to be confirmed depending on numbers, motivation and bikes people will bring.

So far me and mike are keen but all are welcome.

If numbers stay small there's bothy options.

I could well be up for this as I can't make the real winter bivvy. Be good to meet up with a few people as well.

[Mike]

Crap, if it's just us three I'm going to get spanked by u two ( and not in a sexual way I must add ) maybe Lee craigie, Ian b, stucowp and all the other fast ones could join us to.....

[ianfitz]

I should add that at the season of good will all rides have a social flavour!

[adjustablewench]

Bothy options?! Ooh I'm intrigued

[benp1]

Bothy options?!

I there wasn't a SE based one I'd consider popping up for that just to have a look

[Zippy]

If the roads are empty and I drive fast, it's only 3 hours to bakewell for me.... Hmmmm!

Don't worry Mike, if you volunteer tocarry the beer we'll not let you out of our sight..

[Mark E]

I'll probably be up for this Ian. I'll keep mike company at the back!!

Excellent. But we'll all be at the back as its a social festive outing

[Bearbonesnorm]

Lead from the back, it's the way forward

[Bearbonesnorm]

Ooh, just thought, I may be able to tie this in with a pre-christmas ride to see my mum

[Mike]

[PaulE]

It will entirety friend on the shifts my wife is working, but I'd love to tag along too...

[Brothersmith]

As per PaulE, although I am slightly concerned if Mike thinks the pace will be too quick

[Scattamah]

Seems I missed this one...might have to drag my carcass out for it if there's space available.

Everyone welcome. Be good to have a catch up Scott

Just checking that peeps are keeping this weekend free? It's the only weekend I will be able to make so am quite keen!

[bearlymoving]

Oooh, I'd missed this. I'm currently planning on doing the northern one the weekend before, but the Peak District is virtually on my doorstep so it'd be rude not to do both…

[Mike]

Im defo still free for this and if for any reason it doesnt come off i may throw a church stretton ride in there for good measure. Steve keep it free

[Scattamah]

Yup...have kept this weekend clear...looking forward to a post winter-bivvy winter-bivvy! Will keep me going until Twixmas. Peaks virgin here (I don't get out so much as y'all probably have realised by now)...so will be good to ride/push/carry somewhere different.

For those in the know...is it rigid or soft forks terrain?

[Scattamah]

I do the vast majority of my riding with rigid forks. It's a bit lumpy in places but generally fine.

[Mike]

You need a fat tyre up front pal
