Michael's goodbye ride

Michael, from the LSMC a long time ago, organised a goodbye weekend in the Peak district on February 12/13 2012, before moving to sunny Australia. I was allowed to join for one activity, with a choice of saturday climb, evening pub at the 3 stags or Sunday mountain bike ride around Ladybower. With snow and ice on the ground, bike was the best option. This was in February 2012, I've been very slow to update the blog. Here are some videos of the ride preparation with lots of climbers turned bikers from Loughborough Student Mountaineering Club circa 2001. Fast forward to 2:28 if you want to skip the preparation. Click here to access the video on youtube. We passed a farmer training his working sheepdog, here's a quick video from over the fence: And here is a video that Michael took of the last downhill ride that day, with his chest cam.
