    thought of doing that one but not up to 110 miles and the 50 mile route looks flat . thinking of 50 miles with a few hills . ie cat and fiddle / axe edge/gradbach/ blaze farm.

    maybe...

    just done my first peak district ride even though I live in Adlington (borderline peaks) and I was shocked at how crap I am so wouldnt want to slow you down! gonna go out every day now to try and get fit. may be faster by then so we'll see. might come along just to see how long it is before I get dropped. :D

    you wont slow me down . ive not done any hills over winter due to the weather and then a 3 week holiday . so only just getting back into it. heres a link to a ride ive done before from northwich , but ive mapped this one to start at redesmere and works out at just under 40 miles but very hilly.

    What time you going out and where from? I'm out sunday around mid-morning (depending on how many glasses of wine I can say no to on saturday night)
    Coming from Romiley near stockport.
