Peaks Ride - 24/06/12 CANCELLED

Similar ride to last year with a few different roads slung in.

http://goo.gl/maps/W376

Glossop/Holmfirth/Stocksbridge/Lady Bower Reservoir/Bakewell/Matlock/Belper
Ashbourne/Leek/Cat and Fiddle.

Approx 120 miles, with a couple of breaks should be about 4/5 hours.

Not intending to set any speed records but intend to do certain sections at a steady pace
when conditions allow. This may not suit everybody,so if your a stickler for speed limits
don't like overtaking or filtering probably not for you.
Having said that not manage to loose anyone yet but there's always the first time. We don't
use the first man last man system just try and keep a tight staggered group with everyone
looking out for the man behind. Sorry no L plates and some 125's may struggle.

Meet at Scotts Cafe, Brookside, Glossop. SK13 6JF.

Gone back to the original 8.00 meet with a view to leaving at 8.45 after breakfast and fill up.

As always feel free to make any constructive comments/ideas/advice. Frank.

ohhh i'd love to be in this but it's a 4 hour ride just to get there for me so 8am would require a 4am start for me unless i can come the night before and stay in somewhere... any suggestions?

Hi Halfabusa,

I am a bit temped as well to join this one, I have checked a few hotels around the area but seems to be a bit pricy for that saturday. I live in London so could join you on the way but I am not sure I could last 12+ hours of riding on the same day at least not on my own. Let me know what you think.
