I suggest that you contact TrailMonkeys, although not listed on the calender a Sunday ride in the Ladybower area is planned for the last weekend in April, these rides are guided by a friend of James and Shane (of Monkeyspoon), who grew up the Hope Valley. Normally catering for riders of different ability.

Bike Shop in Glossop, oppoiste the Howard Town Arms on A57.

Help please.

Just got into biking this summer. My first experience of a decent down hill ride was Jacobs Ladder. I have since tried a couple around Ladybower too although there must be more. Sunday i rode down Win Hill from the bottom of the peak to the main road and it was amazing. I am not familiar with the area nor the names given for these heart stopping rides I see posted on the net…… Can anyone give me any pointers/directions.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I hope I am contacting the right people. Myself and a couple of others run a youth mountain bike club based at Glossop fire station. The age range of members is 13-18 years. We regularly ride in the Hayfield, Edale and Hope Valley areas and are always looking for new members. Our current group are of a good standard and we ride all trails and hills with rides lasting around 3 to 4 hours. I just wondered if this site could mention the club at all. Our email address is glossopymbc@googlemail.com
We also have more info on the sports section on High Peak Borough Council website (we are on the list of clubs). Excellent website, keep up the good work. Cheers, Chris Collins

Be grateful, it’s a step up the ladder from being part of “the kids”.

Ha cheers Jeffrey, yes that is true. I also pulled the biggest whip ever off one of the final jumps, and yes, Rob Warner went wild.

Cheers. Nice work on the win. Is it true it was by 11.7 seconds?
