Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Some good lanes around Leigh towards Wigan, and just beyond Bolton heading north.

Also Carrington, Lymn, High Leigh, Dunham Massey, Tatton and beyond Alti.

all are reasonably quiet coz most of the traffic is on the motorways or the A580(East Lancs).

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

get ursen over woodhead, i,ll meet yer and take u on some of the uk's best roads( derbyshire)..cracking roads

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

might take you up on that lee, when are you available ?

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

What Chris said.

Up the M66 to Clitheroe, then Slaidburn, east to Long Preston, then south to Gisburn then Barrowford and your choice of route home.

Or, just belt around the M60, down to the Ashley area near Altrincham and play in the lanes down to Northwich, visit J&S and back.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

You joking? Biggest speed camera I have ever seen, whole county is double white lined.

Go to North Yorkshire or North end of Lancashire.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

If you are free at the weekends i am sure a few of us will take a ride with you to the bridge via some very nice roads :)

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Should've done the Carlsberg?

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

I was meant to, but i as posted in the thread couldn't make it due to stuff going on at home.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

sounds good to me i should be free most weekends now. :smt033

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Make sure they are the nice roads and not that over policed, over touristed lump of tarmac called the A65.

I prefer Ribchester, Hurst green, Slaidburn, past the plumbers granddads bench, finally getting to the A65 at clapham railway station. little blast upto the bridge.

Or ribchester, longridge, claughton on brock, Oakenclough, Quernmore, Caton, Arkenholme, bridge

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

I'm trying to get a pass for Sat Hindle, which means I will likely be going up to the Bridge, no idea which way yet.

You going to be around Starks? Not seen that thing running outside of a shed yet.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

nowt wrong wi derbyshire, been riding round there last 26 yrs without problems, cracking roads...hardly any cameras...and certainly not alot of double whites, no more than most area's...and i average 20,000 miles a year on bikes so been to most places!....saying that, wales is even better...and no not had any bother there too

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Ill PM you my number Ste just drop me a text whenever your going for a ride.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Heh, you got a point, I am thinking of peak district.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Up to press I am thinking it'll probably be about 12ish, just up to thr bridge (I'll have a look at Wilky's route)

Could meet at the barn if you'd like then it breaks it up a bit (I'm about 10 mins away from it)

Will keep yo posted.

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

Moved thread and Merged just as you asked :0)

Richie.

Re: best roads from my house for a bimble
 

Just done that in reverse today :D

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

I do that route quite often too. A good extra is the little B road that goes off from the Woodhead across to Glossop. Then you can carry on to the Snake Pass and that way.

Good route is:
Saddleworth to Holmfirth
Holmfirth to Woodhead
Woodhead to Glossop
Glossop to Snake Pass
Snake Pass to Edale
Edale to Chapel-en-le-frith for petrol, then to Whaley Bridge
Whaley to Macc
Macc, over C+F, then turn off, do Long Hill to Whaley, then Whaley to Glossop

Then go home knackered ;)

And no, I don't do rideouts in groups ;)

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

Sounds good. tbh I don't really do groups either. Usually just with 2 of us, but I don't think half a dozen is bad. Just never really fancied bigger groups, the organising and TEC/markings I can't be bothered with (maybe it's just the organising side though. Will have to tag along on one of the PM ones one day)

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

Yeah, it's usually just me and the hubby, but occasionally another couple of peeps tag along. That's enough for me :cool:

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

so who's out this weekend then ? anyone fancy a ride ?

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

I only tag along with you when there is beer:p

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

True :p

Oh BTW Tim, when's your birthday do?

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

24th July.

Lynne was naging last week that I had to contact you/Steve

Re: Point me to the best roads from my house for a quick bimble.
 

I aways fancy a ride, but boss said no, although I'm working on it.

If you get a random Txt, it's off me so you have my number.
