[JamieK]

im up for anything although i need to re-fuel every 100 miles

id rather meet up in matlock and then see what everyone wants to do

[Guest akey]

I will try to remember to bring some maps, there are a couple of good routes to the cat from matlock that one included (willow likes the A6 up to the cat anyway and will make a change from the via gella).

[Devans]

snakes pass is decent

[whitedevil]

So is anyone doing something today? I might ride up if so.

[JamieK]

I thought long hill was good to!

Roads maybe busy though.. Bank hol traffic

[Guest]

Maybe busy!....

think you can bank on them being busy!.

[Reaper]

Typical bank holiday weather,absolutely tipping down.

[Guest]

Just dull and drizzle here.

Will still go out later.....just have to get the wet weather gear on.......just in case!.

[Guest akey]
