🤣 thanks mate, my ribs certainly felt like I was still rolling for several weeks 🤣🤣

@HallMarc_Trails 🙈🤣

@@Stopadoodledoo thanks mate, yeah, I think it’s definitely one of mine too, it’s probably as close as anywhere for me, shame it’s not as close for Jonathan & Christian, would love to get the full group here for a day 👍🏻

Thanks mate, i've been very lucky at times, i've eased off the mad stuff lately, i don't bounce as well as i used to 🤣

@@Stopadoodledoo statistically, Shaun has probably seen me crash more than anyone, that’s a bad omen 🤣

I've certainly had my fair share, i'm very much an all rounder, i can crash in any situation 🤣👍

@HallMarc_Trails quality 🤣

@@Bloody_Nora tell me about it 🤣🤣 i sustained a broken finger and a badly bruised hip, think i got off lightly 🤣👍🏻

@BikingVikingMTB we certainly do mate, some of us are experts 🤣🤣

Thanks mate 🤣🤣👍🏻

🤣 thanks mate, I’ve watched it myself a couple of times 🤣🤣👍🏻

Fantastic place to ride 👍🏻

Definitely mate, this place would be a good place for you to try too 👍🏻

It wasn’t bad at all, there were a few sloppy bits but mostly running well 👍🏻

I’m sure you will be back, it’s too good not to, it’s a shame it isn’t a bit closer to Derbyshire, I think we would ride there a lot more if it was, it was a great day, was glad to show you around 👍🏻

@HallMarc_Trails damn right I've there loads 👍

Yeah, it was a great day, this was the Sunday between Xmas & new year, i didn’t get out on New Year’s Day, I bet Macc Forest was a bit grim 😬🤣 hopefully get chance to meet up soon 👍🏻

@HallMarc_Trails it was my first time at Macc it was sloppy but it didnt rain...we only did a few of the gnarly dh runs....it was top class ya know...loved it

It was great day, we didn’t stop drinking till 5am 😮🤣 Kev still thinks it was all a fix 🤣🤣

@HallMarc_Trails Kev needs another drink then 🤣

🤣🤣🍺

Such a great place, it’s probably as close as anywhere for me, can’t wait till we get better weather, looking forward to some good group rides with us all, last year was few and far between 👍🏻

Thanks mate, it’s one of my favourite places to ride, hope you’re well too 👍🏻

Thanks mate, terrible conditions for riding at the moment, hopefully will improve soon, JT is fine, i don’t think he’s had much chance to get out lately 👍🏻

@@HallMarc_Trails aye bro bit pants but roll on summer eh lol.

Boredale hause I think, from Angle Tarn

@@mtbtrailshredders my teeth wanted to come out riding it 🤣🤣

Thanks mate, appreciated 👍🏻

Fair point, although my grips were kind of smooth lol, I hear you though, I will get a thinner pair 👍🏻

Thanks mate, happy new year to you too 👍🏻

Thanks mate, both my Eyam routes are on Strava & Komoot 👍🏻

Thanks mate, happy new year 👍🏻

Thanks mate, yeah, can’t complain really. We definitely need to get out more this year as a group, they are the best days, hopefully with better weather too 👍🏻

Thanks mate, I’ve done a few xc type routes over the last year, I can’t take all the credit for them though, MTB Derbyshire has planned loads of xc routes in the peaks, it’s worth subscribing to him too if not already 👍🏻

​@@HallMarc_Trailscheers Marc 👍

Thanks mate, I can’t argue with that, Oakley was fearless 🤣👍🏻 have a great new year bud 👍🏻

I thought i would mention it in case you missed it 🤣🤣 a meetup would be great 👍🏻😎

Thanks Jonathan, if we get half as many great rides in 2025 as we’ve had this year, I’ll be happy, what a year when you think about it, the komoot weekend was a real highlight, hopefully we can get something similar sorted for the new year, and more group rides in general 👍🏻

@HallMarc_Trails with you on that 😎👍

Thanks mate, appreciated, happy new year 👍

I must admit, I was really surprised how much footage I had for the year, Dyfi was an ace day, that’s why I kind of built up to it in this video, it was special, hopefully we’ll get more rides with us all in 2025, happy new year mate 👍🏻

Thanks mate, appreciated, have a great new year 👍🏻

You're not wrong, a holiday we won't forget, definitely too far just for a game of crazy golf, especially if you include the plane journey 🤣

Haha, i'm quite happy with how the video turned out, our best holiday video yet i think, and i'm sure we will rewatch for the memories for some years 🤣 it was an absolutely fantastic time, the perfect stag do 😀👍

Thanks mate, we were struggling to fit crazy golf and biking in on the calendar, it made sense to do both, the challenge created itself 😀, and believe me, there was plenty of beers, after those couple of beers at the pool, we didn't stop till 5:30 am 🤣🤣 it got messy 🤣👍

Thanks mate, i appreciate that 👍🏻 I’ve only done once more since this, weather wasn’t as good but still loved it 👍🏻

Thanks mate, definitely try this, it’s a classic 👍🏻

I don’t see the harm, as long as everyone is courteous, there’s no problem 👍🏻

Thanks, i appreciate the feedback, i just like to document my rides for my own benefit really, if others watch then it's a bonus 😀👍

​@@HallMarc_Trails I totally understand and respect that you’re documenting your rides for your own enjoyment-it’s such a great way to preserve your journey and passion. That said, since you're already putting in the effort, optimizing your videos can help them organically reach others who share your interest in cycling and triathlons. It’s not about changing what you do but simply helping those who’d appreciate your content discover it. If you're open to it, I’d love to help amplify that 'bonus' and connect your passion with an even wider audience!

Thanks for the offer but I’m good 👍🏻

He’s in denial mate, I’ve told him he has only got to get in touch if he wants to ride, wished there was something i could do but unfortunately, he needs to recognise that he needs help, I’m there if he needs me, he knows that.

Thanks mate, yeah it’s a gorgeous area, very wet though 🤣 I prefer to work in ft for elevation, miles for distance, mix & match 🤣👍🏻

@@MindfulTrailBiker thanks mate, yeah it’s well worth a visit, there’s a couple of trails that aren’t hardtail friendly, all great fun though, and there’s carrbrook just over the other side of the reservoir 👍🏻

@ cheers fella! 🙏

I’m beginning to think it’s never dry 🤣

Yes, could of been worse I suppose 🤣

He had everything going for him, such a shame that he took this approach, I think his problems got the better of him 😢

Gone but not forgotten 😄👍🏻

Totally agree mate, it’s a shame.

Thanks mate, it’s a great area to ride, I should go more often, is Minton batch ever dry? 🤣

@@HallMarc_Trails I've done it a couple of times and it's never been dry even when everywhere is dry
