White Peak: Derbyshire Dales XC MTB

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

Great video mate! Love these types of rodes, worh hidden gems! That was a monster effort by you all, glad you manahed to stop for the gate 🙈 Some serious rock climbing happening there! Tough climbs, great laughs, spot on!! Dyfi next for you 😉

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Cheers Chriatian, proper day out this just lacked a pint 🍻. Dyfi.....oh my thumb and shoulder are playing up 😜.

[@ElectricMountainBiker]

@@MTB_Derbyshire 🤣🤣 oh like that is it, we all have our aches and arthritis 🤣😭😭 It really looked like another adventure day in the saddle, I love these types of days 👍🏻

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Ideal for us oldies 😜

Ace video mate, a fair old loop that . Not sure (if I am honest) that it's one I would want to do but doesn't detract from how enjoyable it was to watch 👍

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Oh it's not a Jason loop....that got a mention. Still plenty of highlights and as you say I think it makes for a great video not because of the trails themselves but because of the other stuff going on. It certainly suited my need for fitness and not battering the thumb too much. Plus don't forget Marc has a dicey wrist 🤣

[@jonclarke4993]

Nice one. I like the look of this route, will have to check it out. Hope the Thumb's ok

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Definitely worth doing great views and some great if shirt descents. Obviously loads of climbing too 😞. Thumb is actually much better, thanks for asking. I'm still aware of it but perhaps this drier weather is helping. Also think the grips have made a big difference too. I'm now back on the Cotic see how that goes. Cheers

Great video Jonathan, white Peak has so many ‘hidden gems’ to offer. Great route well planned out and a refreshing change from the dark peak. What an enjoyable day.Thanks Paul

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Great comment, thanks Paul. Yep this area shouldn't be ignored, plenty of stuff out there. Always welcome along 😎.

Fantastic video of the day Jonathan, quite a long ride for me, my longest for years, and i could tell haha, i really enjoyed the change from the norm, cracking scenery, great route, enjoyed the little explore in that cave, added to what was already quite the adventure 👍

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Thanks Marc, great day! I love mixing things up a bit. Like I said, probably why I'm not a great rider.....never focus on one thing....do a bit of steep tech then doing a gravel route 🤣🤣🤣. Thing is i enjoy lots of different trails. It was a tough day physically. The climb up to Wormhill was certainly long and protracted. None of that made my cut just the run into Wormhill itself.

[@chunkyantmtb]

Great vid of an epic adventure! Awesome stuff! 👍

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

You know I like a leg stretcher 🤣....this was definitely stretching them. Made a really nice change from the usual stuff 👍

[@chunkyantmtb]

@@MTB_Derbyshire im keen to get out myself and do a few XC orientated rides when I get back from Scotland! 👍🤙

[@Andrew-su9rk]

Liked the video thanks, and interesting to see White Peak. Would just say video-wise, that just as I started getting into your descents you cut away... almost made me feel dizzy.

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

Appreciate that. Thing is the challenge is always editing to a sensible time. I could leave loads more in but it would be about 25 minutes (that was after my first cut). It also keeps a pace to things and keeps the user engaged. I suppose it's why a few riders do full run videos.

[@Andrew-su9rk]

@@MTB_Derbyshire Appreciate that, maybe could include longer clips of at least one or two of the better descents? Just seemed to cut to another bit rather often, that's all. Keep up the good work and thanks for bothering to reply.

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@Andrew-su9rk always do reply to people. More importantly I appreciate you taking the time to firstly watch and then comment. 😎👍
