MTB Derbyshire: Techy Totley Trails
Sometimes it is easy to overlook what you have on the doorstep.
This area to the south west of Sheffield offers such great variety to the Mountain biker. From absolute beginner level on Longshaw estate or Houndkirk road to some full on steep, rocky tech trails it really does offer a great location for MTB. The fact that it is rideable from my house, or a short drive on lazier days, is fantastic!
The trails were running so well on this visit and with the heather starting to poke out it was beginning to look even more photogenic. On this visit I hadn't planned it as such but followed my nose taking me first along Houndkirk before turning onto Upper Burbage, then looping back onto Houndkirk and over to Blacka Moor and the Devil's Elbow.
Here I bumped into Pete another local rider I know and was set to join him until after about three turns of the crank pop the gear cable gave up leaving him stuck in the little cog. So without a spare cable between us he faced a slow and steady return journey. Oh and I had a slightly embarrassing moment when the front spokes locked with Pete's pedal....oops!
Check out his photos and MTB adventures on Intstagram: @mtbpeteinthepeaks
Totley Moor came up with more quality goods with two cracking fast technical trails. Great fun. I then picked up the traditional Eastern Moors route onto Big moor and over to Wellington Monument and back along Curbar and Frogatt edges before going through Longshaw. Just over 19 miles of some pretty sweet trails. Short sleeves and sweaty heads, Summer felt like it had arrived.....until the rain started to make its way up the Hope Valley. Arrrgh! luckily I was in the car 🤣

      The amount of slop.was frustrating, also the fact it was bone dry in other parts, very inconsistent. Made it very difficult to get speed up. Certainly the trails there are really good though and I saw a fraction of what is on offer. 👍

    Great video Jonathan lucky to finish the ride with the brake issue! Trails still a bit muddy we need some June sun to bake them so you can kick up dust! Nice to see the Flaremax getting an outing! Classic shot by the Whale bones at the end. Where were all the goths?

      Definitely worth doing great views and some great if shirt descents. Obviously loads of climbing too 😞. Thumb is actually much better, thanks for asking. I'm still aware of it but perhaps this drier weather is helping. Also think the grips have made a big difference too. I'm now back on the Cotic see how that goes. Cheers

      Appreciate that. Thing is the challenge is always editing to a sensible time. I could leave loads more in but it would be about 25 minutes (that was after my first cut). It also keeps a pace to things and keeps the user engaged. I suppose it's why a few riders do full run videos.

Thing is i enjoy lots of different trails. It was a tough day physically. The climb up to Wormhill was certainly long and protracted. None of that made my cut just the run into Wormhill itself.

    • @MTB_Derbyshire
      @MTB_Derbyshire 3 місяці тому

      Hi Tom, thanks for the comment, it is definitely tricky to start with, that's why trail centres are popular I suppose. There's loads of information out there. Komoot is a great app that I use. You can use it to either plan your own routes or follow other riders and follow their routes. It gives you turn by turn instructions (gets annoying in a video 🤣) but that's really helpful if you're not sure. Also for apps Strava is good and not just about posting fastest times. Not found Trail forks to be any use tbh. Otherwise you can just search for MTB routes in the Peak District on the internet. There's loads out there. I've used pedalnorth routes in the past when visiting north Yorkshire. They give good honest descriptions. My final recommendation....old school stuff but invest in the Vertabrae publishing white and dark peak MTB guides. Hope this helps. PS you've reminded me to put the Komoot link in the description 👍
