Mentioned this to bbc the other day and guess im just dreaming of them nice roads while the weathers poo

but who fancies a ride down Snake Pass,through Edale (Amandas favourite

) do the buxton to macclsfield road and down the Cat & Fiddle. Then along to Matlock if people feel upto it

Im thinking 6/7th August for this. Anybody up for it?

Nah, I hate that road. Too many coppers and scam vans.

How bad is it down there? I dont go down there half as much as I should but the 3or4 times ive been down the Cat I havent seen much fuzz

I was hoping to see a helicopter

At this time of year, regular scam vans, coppers, etc.

it cant be any worse than North Wales. At least theyll just do you for speeding,instead of your plate & can

I'd rather have the plate and can as they're not endorsable!

the cops will only tug you if you go tto fast, if you ride reasonably your ok, ive been up on a weekend this summer and theres plenty of cops but at least you know theeyre there, its not like theyre hiding in the bushes..

even at legalish speeds the roads still fantastic.

Me and the lads did most of that run on Saturday. Snake, Bamford, Castleton, Chapel, Long Hill and the Cat, then back home through Prestbury and A34. Got pulled on the Snake just before the Turn for Bamford where limit drops to 50. Fortunately got flashed by a car just before so slowed but still got pulled for a bike check. Might do Cat and Long Hill both ways tomorrow night if anybody fancies it
