Chunal and Cheshire bash

[a_n_t]

so long as Gorsey Brow isn't there (never ridden it)

It is actually illegal to ride through Broadbottom and not turn up Gorsey brow. I'm doing it on Saturday

Thought so - saw your Man Wheelers ride route ....... not done it myself...so maybe, we can stop at the bottom, and send the local fool up it (aka ME).......... and see him fall off

I avoid Broadbutt as it means riding through bits of Hattersley......... on an expensive bike..............

 

[fossyant]

Re-think, I might just take you up on the offer Fossy,
20 mins that's what 8 miles for you then?

You are welcome............. nah its really 15 mins for 5 miles.......it's a tester I use......out is up hill though ......

Cup of Tea on arrival though..........

We're in a cul de sac thingy, and have parking spaces for 'visitors' ..... wooooo...............(i.e. small houses with lack of driveway provision) IN REALITY.......

Also a local bike surgery (my garage) but wash and polish has to be booked in at a charge.........

Yeah, thats later in the month but I'm going on a recce as there's a few bits I've not done. You should definately give Gorsey a bash, think it climbs about 300 ft in half a mile!

24th I'm away, 31st I'm away with cubs,

So 7th November.......... ?

7th November. 8.45 for 9AM kick off at that statue near the top of motty cut near where me foss and longers met last time.

 

[longers]

Sorry Dan, Fossys idea about meeting by the statue sounds like a better option for them as they won't have to drag upto the pub only to doubleback straight away.
To get there from our side you just need to turn right at the mini roundabout and it's on your right by the crossroads. Or tell me to p off and stop interfering!

As I'll have gears then I might be tempted by Gorsey Brow if anyone else fancies it. Easy to meet at the statue again after. Then Apple St to finish off?

Pencilled into my diary.Taking my bike to Fossy's for a full service,wash and wax before the ride

Never met you Longers but I'm liking you already with thinking like that

Year to the day I made my CC ride debut too.

I've not used a Buxton cafe before but have been recommended The Sauce on Terrace Rd as a reasonably priced option and am sticking it here so I don't forget. Any other suggestions?

hmmm, thinking about joining in the hard bit is choosing which bike as none of the geared bikes have mudguards. I do have some crud roadracers to stick on i spose

My geared bikes don't have mudguards either - one won't take them, and one is forbidden to have any - it's the rules.

You'll have to come on the MTB with studded tyres then

(you'll still be quicker than me though)

Any beginners or fellow slow cyclists coming on this ride?

If I get my Visa to cross in to Derbyshire Potsy, I can assure you I will not be sprinting up any hills (as half the midges in the Goyt valley can testify). Triple for me. Nice and steady.

Hope you make this Hacienda,will be good to meet more new faces.
I don't know about a visa but I don't mind slumming it across the border now and again

I'm on a crash diet to give me a fighting chance of finishing the ride in anything but a very messy state

 

[skudupnorth]

Potsy just given me a nudge on this one,might be up for this so i can put faces to names and have a nice new ride out free of nappies ! Is it MTB or hybrid type riding ????
