Jacobs Ladder | Mountain Biking in the Peak District

[@garycooper9950]

I have ridden Jacobs and most things in the peaks hundreds of times since about 1986. Predominantly and with preference we had ridden up Jacobs and down the other side... More for descending time and brutality. I have been down Jacobs a number of times too, the most dodgy time when the streams had frozen solid and visibility was 10 yards or so. I have only ever cleared Jacob's uphill a few times, and that seemed to be dependant on time of year and conditions, and I was a lot younger. Thank you for bringing it back to me, it's been a long time. My body will not let me do those things anymore, so thank you for a brilliant video. Cheers 😊

Ridden and recorded that route loads over the years. Fair to say that you've made it look truly epic. Great video and top riding from Bruce.

[@peakmedia3201]

It's an awesome ride isn't it 🤙 Thanks a lot!

[@mtbradar]

Cheers boss 👌 she’s a classic loop

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@mtbradar certainly is! Always try and do the tour at least twice a year, it has the bonus of running really well even in winter 👍 (apart from the first part of Rushup before the sunken road obviously 😜)

[@laurakeogh5165]

Great vid! Have you got a strava account so I could see the route?

[@peakmedia3201]

Thank you! I've added the route to the video description 🙂

[@Usual_Goon]

Cool edit, going down doesn't pick up the terrain as much as being filmed riding towards the camera.

[@peakmedia3201]

Thanks! Yeah GoPro footage doesn't often give the trail justice

[@joshsaiz8221]

This is considered mountain bike riding? We'd call this a gravel ride where I live 😄

[@peakmedia3201]

I would love to see someone go down Jacobs ladder on a gravel bike 😂

[@iangrimshaw1]

Not true without a vid.

[@mtbradar]

If you hit this route with speed on a gravel you will die 😂 cheers for the comment 👍
