As the Wednesday night rides neared midsummers night it was time to do a proper mountain bike ride, namely the CLASSIC Hayfield Edale Loop including the infamous descent down Jacobs Ladder, (another pic and the Loop Map)

Starting at 7.30pm and heading up to Jacobs Ladder via Kinder Reservoir.

The ride was approx 35km (22 miles) and included about 800m (1/2 a mile) of climbing

It was very technical on both the climbs and descents
