Thepodge, that was me if the flash went I took the shot, it may have been blurred or something hence it didn’t make the cut. Sorry. Maybe next time!
Ref Mrs Podge, it matters not she was walking, she always had a smile that’s hardcore enough in those conditions!
I evidently need some pads for walking. Fell over in the garage when I got home cos my feet were still numb, battered my leg and am walking with a limp today…
Just to clarify, podge’s wife isn’t the fella gurning at the camera, she’s the one smiling behind him. Probably laughing at podges seated descending technique I reckon…
No, but there’s a ford at the bottom with a slippery, slightly steppy exit and there was some bloke sat there pointing cameras at people. But clearly you’re hardcore enough to come up and ride up them, since they’re so not steep, so how about it? Slap-up cake and coffee fest at Rosie’s in Hayfield says you can’t do it. Winner buys… 😉
Oh, and nice one of me on the steps too. Normally I crash instantly at the sight of a camera, so a bit of a result really – mind you I’d already splatted further back, ooops… 😐
Entry is free, there’ll be some Peak Park by-law forbidding dog-bating as a public spectacle or something. I know those steps are rideable going up, and I figure that RoCkeTdOG with his random, jumbled characters should make mincemeat of it, seeing as they’re apparently not very steep at all… So come on dOGgY, I’m sure you’re not just one of those people who pokes fun at others’ riding ability from the safety of your keyboard but won’t put your cake money where you mouth is, erm, right? 🙂
Thanks yesterday for a good days biking (despite the weather) and also for the loan of the playbus to get changed afterwards. It was my first singletrack pootle and I will definately look forwards to the next one
The steps are rideable going down if you haven’t got a traffic jam in front of you. Going up they’re a proper challenge, I’ve got about 2/3rds of the way up. One day I’ll clean them.
Sorry it was a simple question about the steps, the ones visible don’t look difficult, sorry for not being able to see around the corner of a photograph. Blimey there are some touchy souls on here
Id love to take up the challenge, but i think I’d have difficulty getting past the massive chip you all seem to be carrying and if i laughed at your shoes you’d probably cry and I’d feel bad

The steps you can see are actually steeper than they look fwiw. I note that you’re a bottler then, all mouth and no climbing trousers…or are you scared of cake? 😉
