Had a close call on some ice near Bakewell but that was about it.
Just kept using the back brake on the descents and took it a bit carefull.
My problem is my hands. They get sooooooo cold very painful. I can solve it by using Ski Gloves nut its hard to get the feel of the levers and I dont like that.
Fair ply riding on those large tyres Ady.
I dropped my fav bidon coming out of cromford and that was a bit hairy. I just had to go and fetch it back mind.
I had a laugh up the climb from Bakewell towards Buxton.
I rode up to 2 riders , one of which was really struggling. I passed him easily ( offered to pace him but he said he was okay)
Then pedalled up to his mate who I then passed. He duly rode up back to me and casually asked how far id been etc etc.
I gasped and tried to chat. After two or three minutes i noticed he was riding a FIXED
I couldnt believe it when he said he was doing a hundred miles.
He paced me to the top and I was lets say not of this world when we reached the brow.
God knows who he was but he was class.
