Yep.
I've got this date in the diary. Been wanting to ride thiis for past 2 years but ibeen ill. Now behind me. Will be driving over from Norfolk for the day, so book the current bun.

Have you ridden here before? What is the route like? Terrain, roads, green lanes, tracks etc, etc.
I've got a choice of old but still sturdy and fairly light, 501 framed hybrid with compact gearing now the winter bike, 32mm tyres or new ambrosio al frame with 25mm tyres, flat bars.

By the way also planning to ride White Peak Challenge, Matlock on 27th April

Cheers.

doing the ride the following week in the cotswolds. 40 miles in an MTB - nice.

Actually doing it as a training ride for a 140 mile event a month later!
