No takers yet. Is it too short, too hilly or perhaps too slow? Is the date a poor choice? Is the route rubbish? Let me know. Cheers.

20kmh on the flat is a bit slow. 54km too short really although, if I was to do it, I would come over from Glossop and make it 100km or so which is fine

 

[G3CWI]

Revised Proposal:

Speed increase to 25kph. Route length increased. Difficulty increased quite a lot.

Might be up for this...given I would be coming from Glossop I would prefer anticlockwise so I can duck out near Buxton on the way back

 

[Hacienda71]

I might, doing a bit of travelling over the next few weeks but will be back by then.

 

[G3CWI]

I think that I will postpone this ride until the summer. Cheers, Richard
