MTB Derbyshire: Cut Gate Classic, Peak District.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2022
- No visited Cut Gate for quite a while. Not since the repair work to the bog of doom section. Got to say it makes it so much better! I still managed to fit in a couple of "emergency procedures".
Starting at Ladybower you go past all the reservoirs and keep going until you reach Langsett reservoir. A lap of that one takes you on the return journey. Sounds easy but it is about 26 miles of tough riding. The rewards are a couple of absolutely fanstastic descents.
Not much else to say other than this is a real out there feel, a classic Peak District trail. Even highlty regarded by MBR magazine as one of the UK's best trails.....so it must be good..
There are a few options but I normally do it this way. Let me know if you have done this route or a different version.
Cheers! - Спорт
Did this last Sunday for the 1st time. Wow! Epic is an understatement!
Definitely feels like you've accomplished something doesn't it. Tough old route with some great descents 👌
@@MTB_Derbyshire , it really does my favourite to date.
@@gixxageeza nice one 👍
Great video mate, made me chuckle you kept saying on your right to the two riders, pretty sure second one never heard you as you went past 🤣🤣
I will destroy my rear mech there for sure!! Great scenery and you were flying at times!
I saw them later and apologized if it seemed I was buzzing them. I gave them plenty of warning, got worried about the one in front as I knew that feature was coming up and two into one was never going to work there 😂. It's a beautiful but tough ride. Cheers mate.
@@MTB_Derbyshire 🤣🤣🤣 Well you did call out a few times, where is your famous bell..... I do want one of them as well, so not taking the mick either 🤣 Plus I have experienced first hand your calling out coming by remember, oh no hang on you never did with me 🖕🏻🖕🏻🤣
@@ElectricMountainBiker the timber bell is great i just don't think it's compatible with videos. 😂😂😂
@@ElectricMountainBikerPS You've got to move on now Christian ..... I have . 😬
That looks like a great tour buddy, nice landscape and great trails. Nicely ridden an great shota👌. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Ride on and have a nice weekend🤙
Many thanks! Shame it wasn't sunny but it is a great trail. Have a great weekend yourself 😎👍
@@MTB_Derbyshire 🙌🙏
With the right conditions - its one of the most epic trails in The Peak. Thanks for the vid!
Always feels like you're in the middle of nowhere until you get to Langsett 🤣 Great trail. Cheers mate!
I've not done this loop since 2019, what a great ride, well ridden mate, you were flying "oh, that wasn't very smart" 🤣🤣🤣 Great video mate, really enjoyed that 😃👍
Couple of daft laying the bike down moments that made me laugh, really is a great ride, thanks Marc. Like to go back in the sunshine though :)
Bloody great video mate. Great to see that having already made the mistake of crossing the ford with no waterproof socks on at the start, you do it on the way back too because what's the point in trying to have dry feet by then 😂
I have now added Cut Gate to the list of trails I want to do this year - you shall be my guide 👍
Once the seal is broken and all that! I'm not bothered about getting wet really , it just seemed like something to say 😂 Cut Gate really has some great sections.... Very happy to guide, although not in any official capacity as I have no mtb Leadership or first aid qualifications.
@@MTB_Derbyshire 😂, 👍 and 😂😂😂
Great vid Mate 🔥🔥
Thanks, a pleasure to make it! 👍
Great stuff 👍 really well ridden, a true peak district classic.
Cheers mate! Apart from the two crashes it was well ridden you mean 😜 It is a great run, can't believe I've not done it for so long.
Great riding! Will have to give this a go! 👍
Thanks! Definitely worth giving it a bash. 👍
Wouaaah Nice session bro
Session and a half mate 😎💯
I may need a full suss for cut gate if i visit lol. Great ride n vid dude 👏👏
Nah, HT is fine! 😂
I’ve even meaning to do,Cut gate for a while but after r that I’m going to make it my next ride
Get thee sen out and up Cut Gate. ..before it gets muddy again 🤣👍 prime ATM
Hello, I'm Brecht from Belgium, in a few months I'll be mountain biking near the peak district. So I'm looking for routes. is it possible to send me the gpx of this route? the route looks fantastic! regards

Hi. Thanks for the lovely comment. This is a tough old route but very rewarding. This is a link to the route in Komoot or you can follow me on Strava.

Can’t beat a bit o cut gate
It's definitely a real out there feel to it that you don't always get. The main descents are great fun too. Cheers 👍
@@MTB_Derbyshire done it a few times summer and winter wet and dry,I like the isolation feel when you ride over the cut gate!
Gotta ask as it was bugging me in the video (😂) is your stem, and therefore bars straight? It looked slight right side down 🤔 #cannotunseeit
I think it's a bit of an optical illusion, although it might explain why I crash so much 🤣. You'll have to watch all my videos to make sure 😜👍
@@MTB_Derbyshire its the gopro lens placement with it being to one side it make things look off set and out of place
@@craigcastledine probably that too 😜👍
Great vid mate, looks pretty techy in parts...enough to keep you on your toes!
Cheers mate. Give it a go, it's a great run, definitely tough going in parts but rewarding.
@@MTB_Derbyshire another on the list 😂
@@MTB_Trekker I reckon we should give this a go dude! Looks awesome!
@@chunkyantmtb agreed
@@MTB_Derbyshire much better in dry weather without rain lashing you in the face with a headwind! 😊🤣
Why didn’t you just turn right at the gate there’s a trail making this a loop 👍 anyway love cut gate😊
I edited out all of that part 😂. There's plenty of variations, but ultimately it's a lollipop route. Sometimes I go all the way to the main road and past the cafe before coming back sometimes I cut through North America sometimes I go up the recently resurfaced way and rejoin the cut gate path on Mickledon edge. All good as you say it's a great route 😎👍
@@MTB_Derbyshire sure is 👍
@@MTB_Derbyshire i’m sure I seen some form of carpark very close by as you peddle up the reservoir before you start the climb? Would love to cut short the long pedal from Ladybower.
@@twowheels4689 no....I park near the bridge then ride all along the three reservoirs. I agree it's a pain. You can park at the langsett end of course, then you can turn around once you reach Howden. As I live south side I always do it from Ladybower.
Belting loop great video. Do you have a gpx of this pls
Thanks. It's a classic loop and you'll find it in loads of places. But you could do worse than follow my Komoot channel. This is my ride. www.komoot.com/tour/967901101?ref=aso
Hope that's useful 😎
@@MTB_Derbyshire that's brilliant thanks. Can you recommend any other quality peaks rides? Did mam Tor and Jacobs other wk as 1st time to the peaks...was awesome
@@shannonmtb obviously depends upon what you like. Jacob's ladder classic is another you should do. Eastern moors and Blacka moor is excellent. Froggatt edge is stunning. Plus, get cavedale in....it's a pretty mad rocky descent. Look through my rides you'll find some good ones.
@@MTB_Derbyshire nice will look for them cheers 😁
