My first day of Vehical Support training for Dave's epic 2017 ride. My human's kept it short but hilly with narrow lanes for my first training session. I negotiated the narrow stone walled, green summer drenched lanes of the White Peaks, carrying my human's bikes, fridge stocked for lunch and gas at the ready for hot drinks, perfect. This is me arriving at a disused railway station where my human's left me to complete a 20 mile ride.
They rode beneath Thor's Cave but with their bikes they decided not to climb up to it. You can see it high up in the cliff behind my female human.
Tranquil lanes and cycle routes meander through dried up river valleys with the heady scent of wild flowers, dripping fern covered rock faces and tall white flowered hog weed.
Dark cavernous tunnels from an age of steam and a slower pace of life.
Finaly they reach the quiet hamlet of Hulme End in time for lunch.
Then all they had to do was retrace their steps back to me the support vehicle. Wow I'm good at this!
Some facts: the route follows the old 1902 to 1934 light railway Hulme to Waterhouses.
The Manifold river dries up just past Wetton Mill in the summer months, it runs beneath the ground.
Thor's cave is worth a visit.
