Day Out: CRF300L and Rally UK FB Group Trail Ride 4K

This is a riding video from 16th October 2021 around a few trails in the Peak District, it was led and organised through the CRF300L and Rally UK Facebook group and took in several of the trails in the Peak District including the Quarry Road from Doveholes to Smalldale, the Trans Euro Trail from Rowter Farm to the south of Castleton, the track to Great Hucklow, Abney to Shatton, Houndkirk Road and Porter Clough.

The lanes are shared with walkers and cyclists and the pace, mine in particular, is leisurely! I've tried to pick out a few key bits and to keep it as short as possible.

I'm also using this video as an attempt to explain how my upgraded suspension has changed the riding experience for me, by talking through how it feels and rides over different surfaces. It's not perfect, but I'm struggling to think of a better way to do it. Suggestions are welcome!

I didn't fall off, nothing broke, and I had a great day out. Thanks to all involved, especially Geoff for leading us around and Simon for inviting me. My apologies for any heavy breathing on the more technical bits with the helmet mic. The other option was music, and people always complain about that!

A few key bits are as follows:
00:00 Introduction
00:45 Ride to Buxton
01:47 Quarry Road
03:01 Rowter Farm and South of Castleton TET trail
