• @atk @yoshy @Pmccee and any other locals, discussing actual gravel rides might not be in the spirit of this thread but what nights work for people? I’m in Marple so happy to lead a loop from Marple station- easy to find off the canal or come on a train or park.

    My route was play around in Brabyns first on all the sneaky tracks, then up the twat hill from Marple bridge, down Roman lakes to strines station, up the gravel road option and down the fox, up and down the golf course, then up the stony climb to Mellor, down the road, up the road to top of enrocroft and a single run down the sneaky trails there as it was too hot to go back up. Gravel back track into brabyns, 2 laps of the bike track and easy track up brabyns and over the canal home. Only non gravel bike bits were some of the trails in brabyns, down the fox, the up to Mellor would be tricky but there’s a gravel alternative and ernocroft woods trails but again the main track is fine

  • It does feel a bit 'peak district riding thread', I suppose we can get into detail about wheel/tyre size and whatever else is on the calendar as needed. Usually can't do Wednesdays.
