I'll do the easy route and let other come up with more 'interesting' ones: -

A615 to Matlock
A6 to Bakewell
A6 to Buxton
A53/A54/A537 to Cat & Fiddle

Well the weather forecast for Sunday is now "Part Cloudy" (if you can believe that.

Realistically this means a good, warm riding day with a nice breaze. Bearable riding temperatures have got to be good!

Derbybiker and me are meeting in Burton (just off A38) then meeting the rest of the MIGTs in Alfreton. You could tag along for a longer ride if you like:?:

I think the Council of Merry Men will have to convene prior to the journey to decide if you two are worthy to travel with us then :lol:

Im really looking forward to it now, although i am in a lot of pain cos i fell off my pushbike at high speed and have a bandaged arm, leg and hip covering some tasty friction burns :cry: Nothing is gonna stop me coming now tho, especially after reading that the east midlands posse are gonna make up most of the people attending 8) See you all tomorrow nice and early
