Tough bit of reccying for the Peak 200 today. Climbing on road sections of 24% had me standing on the lowest gear on my MTB to get up. Evil soft clay descent down Bradwell Edge way beyond my abilities and ended up having to walk/slide down a lot of it. Need some work there. Fortunately nice and warm so a good ride despite the occasional sense of humour fail. Last off road bit was the easy drop off Hollin Cross. Nicely pushing my technical abilities without getting far beyond them.
The next bit is the fabled The Beast of Hope Cross. I've been up it carrying a cross bike. Not sure how going down is going to go.
