What's your favourite route to ride of a weekend? Probably my two favourites are:

- Macclesfield to Leek, then head to Ashbourne. Turn onto the B5053 towards Hartington, then the B5054 to the A515. Then you can either head to Buxton and then to Macc over the Cat & Fiddle, or take the A5012 to Matlock Bath and back via Bakewell & Buxton

- Macclesfield - Kettleshulme - Whaley Bridge on the B5470, then A6 past Chapel, and A523 past Tideswell, then B6465 past Monsal Head back down to the A6 to Buxton, then Cat & Fiddle again

Kirkcaldy - Blairgowrie - Braemar - Tomintoul - Aviemore - Ft William - Glencoe - Tyndrum - Creiff - Kirkcaldy.

Kirkcaldy - Selkirk - Keilder - Melmerby - Brampton - Longtown - Newcastleton - Hawick - Peebles - Kirkcaldy. i'll take in mostly back roads with this run.

@Bibio - those are proper round trips and no mistake. I think my *rs* would need to go to intensive care after doing either of those routes

I spent about 6 hours going around nothing but tiny twisty back roads in the peak district and it was stunning.
I also like the Yorkshire moores around Whitby

If I fancy going south I like this as a day out.

A wee morning/evening run.

If I'm going to Doune for a bit of MX watching I like taking this route.

There are plenty of other great routes up here as Bibio said.

That looks like a fun ride, how long does it usually take you to do the 127 mapped miles?

Quite a few cameras (Gatso and average speed) around here, so it's not about going fast, it's more about not slowing down

Another fan of north yorks moors. Pickering to Whitby then north up to saltburn and back to south yorks on as many B roads as possible. Wonderful!! Then there's leeming bar to hawes and apple tree wick.....damn this rain lol
