After a bit of planning i head off with my 6year old daughter in our WeeHoo double trailer (circa 50-60kg with child and kit). The rear seat was removed and replaced with all the luggage. We head off on a 120km loop of the High Peak Trail and Monsall trail from Disley nr Stockport. Lots of icecream ...

Cheers Rich, i will probably go with this option TBH as its familier and easy but was wondering if there are other options....Id quite like a wild camp but i think it would be hard along here, so a campsite makes most sense.

Im taking my 6yr old daughter on an overnighter camping next weekend....ill be pulling her along on a weehoo trailer fully loaded. I was wondering if anyone knew of any decent flatish routes in the peakdistrict that i coukd incorporate a wild camp or a quiet campsite?

Theres a few local riders interested in a group ITT ill prob have a stab at it later in July with them. Ill try and get something in the diary.

Angus has it - https://www.instagram.com/manucattrysse/
Manu has a puncture!!!!!!

They must have finished by now! Whos won!?

Oh god! Thats not going to go down well!

Place your bets!!!!

Im going with Angus!

I just created a strava segment from their current position called "Go Angus Go Go Go" from my time last year. I did it in 1hr 32min. I expect they will be 10-15min faster, so put them over the finish line at 4pm! New record in the making! Distance 16.55km Elevation Gain 375m Avg Grade 0.2...

Its all down hill here and non technical - Angus will be giving is his full 400watts of power now! It will be tough to catch him.

No way will Angus roll in! He will be going full gas all the way! Hes just put in a couple of miles on him - hes going hard!

Oh my...Angus and Cattrysse Manu are about 500m apart....its gonna be fierce racing right to the end now!!!!! Whos got enough fuel and legs to nail this! Its going to be a huge mental lift for Cattrysse Manu when he reaches Angus and this could power him on!?

From IG looks like Alex has scratched due to mechanicals...punctures! Its pretty rough out there!

Fantastic ride.

Time is a great healer!

The only area where any sort of conflict could have arisen was around Esthwaite Water which was very busy. This section did take care and consideration for other users as it was very busy. The rest of the route was very quiet bar the overlap with Jenn Riders going in the opposite direction. The KOM ...

Angus is back on the front....i recon this is him on thr front the remainder of the way now, unless he has a mechanical or other big issue.

Im impressed with Alex's form so far, but i know Angus really wants this badly and hes got alot of experience on this route now. I know Angus really knows how to suffer too so my money is on him!

After trying the Lakeland 300 in March 2020 just before the pandemic with Steve Waters, i knew i had unfinished business with the loop as we had to bail as we ran out of time and had bad weather. So when i signed up for Jenn Ride a few months ago i bought a weekend pass to go riding. As the event ca...

I may go off on a slight tangent and do a Lakeland 300 ITT attempt from Staveley instead.....
I'll see how i feel on sat morning :)

Signed up!
Looking foreward to this as ive not done a Jenn ride yet.

Ive only ever ridden in the lakes once, when i tried the Lakeland 300!

I logged -12 on the top of shining tor in the peak district last night

They would have made it if it were 200km!

Dave Knowles from Hayfield did it on a tandem but didnt black badge unfortunately

Apologies. That one obviously slipped my mind. Did he / they finish?
