New / Returning Riders Ride Out

[Luckypants]

Now from what I can see, most of the folks wanting to come on this ride are from Merseyside and Cheshire, so for a change thought we'd head up into the Peaks rather than N. Wales. The route avoids the Cat n'Fiddle as it will be busy since the Snake Pass is still closed for resurfacing. So the plan is to meet at Knutsford Services on M6 (southbound) My understanding is you can still access the services from A5033 and this is how we will escape.....

• Meet Southbound Knutsford Services at 10.00 AM
• Leave Services at 10.30 Sharp.
• A537 to Macclesfield
• B5470 to Horwich End
• A5004 to Buxton
• A6 to Bakewell
• B6049 to Tideswell
• A623 to Calver
• A625 onto A6187
• A6187 to the Ladybower Reservoir.
• LUNCH STOP
• A57 to A6101
• A6101 to Owlerton
• A6102 to Stocksbridge
• A628 to Woodhead
• B6105 to Glossop
• A624 to Chapel-en-le-Frith
• A6 to Buxton
• A54 to Congleton
• A54 to Middlewich
• SAY TA-RA ME DUCK and head home

About 55 miles in the morning and 75 miles in the afternoon, taking it steady is about two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon including general faffing about. We will use the drop off marker system, where the first bike behind the leader stops to mark each junction / turning. We will appoint a tail end charlie (TEC) to sweep and move the markers on. This will be explained in detail when we meet.

This is intended as a ride for inexperienced riders to get used to a bit of group riding, pace will gentle. Emphasis for everyone should be on observation of road hazards and other riders in the group, keeping good spacing and so on.

All aspects of the ride will be discussed before setting off.

Experienced group riders are welcome to attend to pass on experiences and help with marking / TEC or just to meet friends new and old.

Please confirm in the next post that you are coming.........
