Default The Other Soho Massive Rideout Ride Up AR11 (Treacle's tarmac tear up!)

I have already discussed this with Keith so not to tread on any toe's.
This one is for the rider who fancys a bit more roads and bit less motorway and with a bit more of a spirited pace.

Meeting time is 8:30 to 9am at the Scratchwood/London gateway services 1st service station at the bottom of the M1.
Depart at 9:30 bang on so we can get cracking. NO FAFFING ABOUT FOLKS!
Straight up to Jct18 -->A5 past Hinckley then onto the A444 past Burton Upon Trent A511 then up the A515 --> Ashbourne --> Buxton --> Glossop (A6 or I would much rather the A5004 depending on time) then west towards the M67 --> M60 --> M66 --> A56 to Padiham --> A671 to Clitheroe on to the B6478 to Wigglesworth onto the A65 towards Austwick.

Fuel and Lunch stops as we go.

Google recons it will take 7 to 8 hours but I recon we can beat that a tad.

So whos with me? *Please be aware that I wont be hanging about*

Feel free to ad your name folks.

My head-start is only going to be about 23 hours, so get the coffee's on for when I get there

Have fun guys and see you there, I'm off up on Thursday to get about 20 liters or so of Ginger Beer on the go

Enjoy your ride up from Clitheroe. Waddington to Slaidburn is a fun bit. Just After you leave Slaidburn and cross the river there is a nasty left hander that can catch some unaware due to being uphill and a dodgy camber etc.

Personally, if the weather is good, I would recommend about 4 miles after Slaidburn you take the left turn at the telephone box & sign post for Clapham/Stocks Reservoir and follow the Keasdon road (about 13 mile) to Clapham railway station. and onto the A65, turn right and it is about a mile to the camp site. You would be unlucky to see a single car in that 13 mile

As you get to the top, it is an ideal photo opportunity, there is a bench put there by Bluepetes family in memory of his grandpa
