Found some great new roads today - Couple of pics to show you all.
Can't remeber the names of all the places but they include Alstonefield,Ilam and Shining Tor (think the spellings correct) amongst others.
Plenty of climbing too !
Round the back of Dovedale near Ashbourne

    Nice round there isn't it - was at Mill Dale myself today - you weren't the guy on a road bike with red kit were you ?
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    Hi Tom

    All black and white (like Derby !) on white Focus these days although another new bike on the way early next week.
    It's tough round there.
    Usually go down the A6 to Matlock for a warm up and then head into the hills and then a bit of flat to finish.
    From Little Eaton over to Ashbourne and beyond it's lumpy all the way so less miles than usual in the time but could training for the the Dragon and the Otzal Radmarathon.

    Ah Stoney forgot you'd changed your name on here.
