Peak ITT groupstart - first weekend of July

Post by redefined_cycles »

Some background (and hopefully inspiration) to the route can be seen here I think viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5467&p=58672&hilit=Peak+itt#p58672

I've attempted twice and scratched both times but gping back through my write-ups I can see how beautiful it was and I wanna havw another go. I believe Ian made the Loop to be started from anywhere so the groupstart doesn't neccessarily need to start from one place but we could start at the same time :-bd

Anyone in? If so we can set a date. If not then I suppose it'll just be myself. Some more info about times can be found here -https://www.selfsupporteduk.net/peakitt - but I believe theres alot more completions than are reported and from speaking to Karl I think he holds the fastest unofficial time (just saying).

This was my last attempt and as you can see it's absolutely stunning. Even in pictures (though some of them are of Kinder Scout which I walked across 'mid-scratch'.

I think the fastest time is around the 14 hour mark. So yes, 2 days roughly for us normal folk :grin: I'll probably be riding for as long as poss on the first day and then having a good sleep in prep for the next. Two failed attempts, I'm hoping I'll get round at least 80% this time before chucking out my dummy...

Let me know which 2 days fit for you Jon and if it's the correct ones for me, we'll set the date as that :smile:

I use to hold the record but alas that has long gone now some quick folk have turned up and put a time up.

I could be up for a group start but will check my calendar.

Lol... did I say 'failure'... no, no... I meant chucking out the dummy. Every attempt is always a good steeping stone and learning curve. If I'd not tried the Peaks ITT then I probably would have given up on the bb200 each time Jon. Can't wait :-bd

Have you asked 'Queeny' how she'd feel about that. Hates mountain bikes (not sure about bikers) according to Oli (some sort of world champ) when he went to the palace. Apparently they scared her horse this one time :smile:

Jon... will the weekend of the 25th of June work for you? I'm in the process of transcribing the route straight ibto Strava so it runs along the tracks/BW more 'fittingly'. Let me know if anyone wants me to share that link... :smile:
