I think the weather had something to do with that\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But by the start of the ride it had stopped raining \ud83d\ude42 &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Report title explanation : As we climbed the tarmac bit of Chazza , there were big chunks of frothy bubbles drifting down either side of the road \u2026like what you used to get in a glass of Cresta in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three riders on three classic bikes . The Holy Trinity :&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully rigid (Genesis Fortitude 29er) , hard tail (Cotic Soul 26er ) , and full bounce (Giant 650b) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two steel , one ally, \u2026..no carbon , no e-c**t, no titanium, no bamboo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charity was the wettest I have ever seen , like a river in full flow . Dunc stayed up off the rocky bits (after the physio\u2019s suggestion he may have cartilage damage in his knee) , giving us temperature reports from the \u201cflight deck\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has the helm of the&nbsp; Starship enterprise on his handlebars, but b*gger all suspension.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up in the clag of charity&nbsp; Helmet lights were useless&nbsp; , but we were absorbed in that state of \u201cflow\u201d when you have to fully concentrate just to stay on the bike .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom of chazza we found a new feature : Forest Chapel Tarn , formerly known as the Church Car Park \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Standing Stone we had a weird experience of disorientation in the clag , with our lights just about picking up the track but nothing else the downy bits and uppy bits arrived without warning . &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we emerge at&nbsp; the Leathers , Chris finally notices the new Leathers pub signage (it must be a couple of month\u2019s old at least) . After seeing nobody else in the forest &#8211; a rarity for a Thursday night &#8211; we encounter two \u201cgravelleers\u201d heading away from Leathers towards Nessit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More water features encountered en route to the pub &#8211; the Langley water dip . Dunc had kindly stopped and illuminated it for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sutton Hall was warm , dry and welcoming &#8211; and we had vouchers to spend. Unfortunately they would only accept six (gone are the halcyon days of expiry dates being ignored) . Which gave us \u00a312 off \u2026gone are the days of \u00a312 for a main course \ud83d\ude41 , vouchers are only a discount now&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicken and Chorizo pie all around , and once I had upgraded from mash to chunky chips they all wanted the same!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buxton gatekeeper 4.1%&nbsp; \u00a34.30 , a fine Porter ale for a Winters Evening ..very quaffable .
