Just under three years ago Conradski and I loaded up the car and on a crisp and snowy day at the end of February ventured out into the Derbyshire Dales south of Buxton to ride. An updated photo gallery from the original trip into the Peak District’s White Peak area can now be found on this page.

This weekend Tyrrell and I returned to revisit the same route and this time didn’t get anywhere near as lost or exhausted. The mud on the route over the top’o’the quarries wasn’t nearly as deadly, the trails weren’t buried beneath snow and we had the luxury of sunshine from the start of the ride until the end. More photos in the gallery.
