A day later than usual, but still coming at you with the same vigour and excitement for the coming weekend, it is of course this weeks Something For The Weekend. It's been a rather busy week this week, we've all been pulling our weight in the Outdoorkit Warehouse, helping to put up racking and shelves to make room for all the shiny new products this Autumn/Winter! Plus today is the first day in a long while that I've actually felt a bit of a chill in the air, with that pinching Great British air knocking into you as you leave the warmth of your house first thing in the morning and make your way out to your car.
The main event for you this week is the Peak District Mountain Bike Challenge 2011. It's all happening this Saturday, 8th October in Hope Valley, Derbyshire. The Bike Challenge gives riders of all experience groups exciting biking routes, plus stunning views of the Peaks.
Theres a choice of four routes, which are as follows...
1. Adventure Route (Approx 14 miles) A great introduction to the Dark Peaks, Although this is our shortest route, it will provide you with some technical rocky trails, big hills and wonderful views.
2. Advanced Route (Approx 23 miles) This route is suited to more experienced riders wanting to ride some of the more technical trails, taking in some Dark Peak classics. Expect big hills and loose rocks.
3. Extreme Route (Approx 34 miles) For very fit and competent riders only, this is the ultimate off road biking experience. With 34 miles of steep hills and technical terrain, this really is a tough challenge.
4. Ultimate Route (Approx 42 miles) For very fit and competent riders only, this is the ultimate off road biking route. With 42 miles of steep hills, technical terrain and exposed stretches, this is the toughest of them all!
Unfortunately advanced registration for the event is now closed, however you can still get down there and register on the day at Hope Valley College. Registration times for the Ultimate and Extreme routes are 9.30am - 9.45am and for the Adventure and Advanced Routes 9.50am- 10am. Happy biking!
