I may well do a Strines ride too and another one on another weekend but have to go to Leeds again this weekend and was totally knackered last weekend and didn't end up doing a Strines run at all along with Gale force winds .
Yes. You can park in the four car parks around north half of the reservoir (pay I think), there is quite a few spaces just past the bridge and the plugholes (free). Just round the corner there is an additional car park but I've never been in it (southern half but closer to our meeting point). There is also additional parking above and beyond this further off. I think theoretically you could park in Bamford but wouldn't recommend this.
I don't think we'd decided yet. My idea from the other thread was 10 or 11am meet at Ladybower. I know how long it takes Longers to get over the Snake and Bokonen will probably have a half hour or so cycle to the start. It takes me less than an hour and a half to get there. I'm open to times really. Liverpool is obviously a lot further away than the people mentioned above.
Not going to be able to do this - 20 miles there plus the 45/50 and 20 back - the shoulder won't take it...been very sore last day or two..... love to do it though - hopefully later in the season...... just short rides for me at the mo....
Has a start time been decided yet? Providing people can make it to the start for an 'early' set-off, leaving around 10:00 would give a couple of hours riding before a cake stop around 12:00-12:30 which would be most civilized (assuming we are actually near civilization at that time!) Thoughts?
I put 10:30am on the calendar as I had no response.
As for cake stops. There's one in Eyam if you want a very early one. I think there are ones in Ashford and Bakewell further on. Monyash or deviating to Flagg is about half way round. There's then various choices towards the end of the route.
