Due to being thoroughly miffed about missing out on the official ride up north, we’ve decided to do a mega ride and do some Peak District action!
Will of course cover the cat and fiddle and snake pass, as well as fish hill somehow on the way back…
Ride is 500 miles ish and claimed 12 hours on google maps, so no L platers!
If anyone is somehow mad enough to want to come along, post up! We’ll be leaving about half 8 from hanger lane…
would of loved to go, but of to,supension BBQ tomorrow,
hope to get the bird looked at, and may get the supension on the bike done too:D

Damn right I am. Have you a post code for the start point? I know where Hangar Lane is but it’s a big roundabout.
Ace will do me, leaving at half 8. Don’t expect luxurious tea rooms either, we’ll be finding stops on the fly

That’d be because I stole it from this post!

It was great…except the random trip twice round Sheffield city centre for no reason!

Glad you enjoyed it Alex …
I’d have loved to have joined you but had days work planned
We got quite lucky, it was raining when we got to the cat and fiddle, 50mph average was pretty optimistic in those conditions. Much better than worrying about speed the whole way, and made us appreciate the hot chocolate in the pub when we got there!
