Crew:\u00a0<\/strong> Butty, Pete, 3 sheds, Bern, El Presidente<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather:<\/strong> Cloudy, cool & windy on the tops . Rain in the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route:<\/strong> BL \u00a0 – Buxton Rd\u00a0 – Tea Rooms – Stakeside\u00a0 – Down to the road – shooters clough Car Park – Yoof downhill track – The Street – Pym\u2019s Chair – Dead Man\u2019s Hill – The Vale\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was tempted to title this TNR \u201cBleeding Reverb \u201c ?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a good hour or so of the afternoon carefully bleeding my reverb seatpost remote release…only to find at the end of this procedure that it would not work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I quickly commissioned \u201cold faithful \u201c , my trusty Cotic Soul. 26 ain\u2019t dead yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weeks massive turnout of 10 had dwindled to a reliable crew of five. 3sheds and Bern are now statistically significant again. It\u2019s official. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And El Presidente was once again in full ops leader mode. We were blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He decreed Goyt as our destination so up we went on the long climb to the Tea rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bern took the lead and sped off up Buxton Rd, but it was Chris who won the sprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind was cool enough on the tops to warrant an extra layer. It feels like a while since we have been in the Goyt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boys were waiting for me on the turn into Shooters Clough. Descending on the Cotic is a distinctly slower affair than on my Five, but it still makes me grin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully we take the more direct route to the right and down. By the bottom my brakes are complaining <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butty has suggested we do a loop on the mini downhill circuit close to the Errwood Dam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we encountered a van-full of yoof – apparently having driven here to just ride this little downhill circuit. No lights, no backpacks, no uphill grind from Macc for them \u2026but I am sure they had fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the downhill loop we climb The Street with lights on now. At Pym\u2019s Chair Chris Palmer is in Operations Leader mode again – food order for the Vale sorted, with a promise of \u201cwe will be there in 15 minutes\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swoopy route from Pym\u2019s chair down but especially so from Dead Mans Hill (Erwin Lane\u00a0)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food arrives on the table as we come through the door – service with a smile\u00a0. A to K IPA is tasty but not cheap , Dortmunder Lager\u00a0 , Eastern Nights\u00a0 \u2026.excellent choices of ale\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bern is up for pudding but alas the chef has gone home \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a mini AOE of Glenmorangie and \u201cI\u2019ll have half\u201d from Bernard  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor barman has to be on a 6:30 am train to London ! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
