Default Where you been today (or yesterday)

Who was out on their bike?

Me, I went out today with the Shropshire & Powys RoSPA group for their monthly rideout. Shrewsbury - Welshpool - Newtown - Caersws - Llanidloes - Rhayader - Cross Gates (via fabbo A44), - Leominster (more fabbo A44) - Tenbury Wells - Kidderminster - Quatt - Shrewsbury. 170 miles. A fantastic day. Wow they can ride - and yes I did keep up

So where did you get to?

Ahhh!! There it is again (See my recent posts about being near Derby).

What's in Matlock?? I saw a sign for Matlock while up there and didn't know why it rang a bell?

More specifically, Matlock bath.
It is basically a tourist area about a mile or so along a biggish river, lot of bikers go there.
Cafes, bars, shops etc.
Gullivers kingdom theme park is at the top of the road so ok for your rugrats lol
I like it up there, went into a cafe today for a latte and the owner was a brummie, from an area not far from where i live so we chatted about the area.
I will defo go back a few times this summer and use his cafe for obvious reasons.
Good roads around there albeit can be busy.
I did see your thread btw.

Phil

Matlock Bath gets absolutely rammed full of bikes in summer, and a fair few still turn out on winter Sundays too. I used to pop over there for my Sunday lunch (chips) when I lived in Worksop.

I spent today at home, this morning was unblocking the bathroom handbasin day, and this afternoon I've been resting. Still poorly
