As to the route - some from the West Mids expressed an interest so maybe a start in between? If you want a hand with arrangements let me know.

Cheers Keith

No need to think like that mate.

Seriously, just tell me where & when to meet everyone else, and I'll just follow the bike in front of me all day. The journey down the A623 & back will make it worth the motorways to get to Stockport from me. I've done that road once, and said when I did it that I should make the effort to do it again.

The rest of it is partly for the social bit, and partly because I'm on the bike at every opportunity anyway.

The way I did the Wales ride was just to build it up bit by bit. Arrange the meet point first, then the route was sorted (thanks to Luckypants) and tweaked a little. Then time of the meet sorted. Second day was decided on the morning.

I'm just fortunate that so long as you stay away from the coast in North Wales, you have good roads in all directions.

Would have loved to join you, but that's the last weekend before our Austria trip and the Saturday is earmaked for getting new rubber fitted.

Pete's working on the Sunday, too

Next time

i was thinking a ride somewhere meet up then Matlock for lunch. and somewhere else . . i just dont know where to start.

well - if we are going to gwt some of the West Midlanders in on the run what about Basset's Pole? Meet there and ride AM up to Matlock, Lunch in Matlock, PM from Matlock maybe up A6 to Buxton and back?

Bassets pole? Linky please.

If it's not that far from Matlock to Bassets Pole, I could always meet at Bassets Pole, tag along, then when you lot double back, I just continue on home. Obviously depends on time & how good the roads are, but still.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it, Tamworth. 3hours ride ish. Not bad, depends on the time to meet, I don't fancy setting off much before 6am

Hi, if anyone is heading up from the East Mids side then I might be up for it.
