I was talking to the guy up at the Cat. I saw him standing by the road when I was on my way down and stopped thinking he had a problem. He told me what he was up to so I carried on down then did another run up.:D

the "cat" i love that road :)

Re: I Got snapped on the Cat on Saturday...
 

If you love the 'cat' .....you need to try the A54 which runs along side it to the south, just as nice but with next to no traffic.

Thats the route i did at the weekend with hockeynut.

If you fancy it give me a shout i will come along.

wow yea! next time i'm up that way i'll drop u a pm, trouble is the cat is about 90miles from my house so its a bit of a run just to get there.

The A54 towards Congleton from the Cat is wild, has to be one of the most 3 dimensional roads I have ever ridden. The first time I did it I turned round and did it again four times - I was on a borrowed 1200 Bandit and the owner was sitting there at the Cat junction regretting lending me the bike because he was bored waiting for me to finally stop.

Yeah its a brilliant stretch of road, I had only ever driven it until the weekend. I had been waiting so long for the right weather to ride it.

The end near Congleton under the trees before the crossroads at Bosley was abit gravely inbetween the car tyre lines, I had abit of a moment lol....thats what makes it so good though, such a diverse road its got everything.

Its good to do it as a loop A537 to Macclesfield, then the boring bit of A523 and back along the A54 towards the start of the A537 at buxton. Only downside to doing it like that is the road from the Bosley crossroad to Congleton is dam nice aswell.
