I tagged along with the Mono g/s ride led by Chris. It all started out innocently enough with a nice bimble round the lanes.
Before getting a little more serious. We headed down to Monsal head and climbed the extremely rocky slope. Pretty tricky because the rocks were constantly throwing you off track

We then headed for Bamford clough meeting Flips crew on their ride out.
Bamfords a hell of a climb up slippy rock plates and loose rocks and shale, fortunately there are sections of concrete to provide some respite. We had one mishap when Derek lost his grip and broadsided the bike. No damage fourtunatly just oil in the airbox providing a smoke screen. The slopes got to be at least a 1 in 3
