Well the weekend is here .....

Chris and I are off for a ride .......

As the result of a " Series of unfortunate events. " .....

This the route ....

34 - 57 miles, depending on weather, wind, ice ... but not gradient .... 1/200 is the average uphill struggle ....

We'll catch up with you on STRAVA fellow WIMPS.....

You are advised not to cycle down steep inclines on the Trails

You may get caught out if you go between Carsington & Tissington, recommend the The Knockerdown Inn if food is on the agenda

Cold, Cold, Colder, Coldest ... and Fog.
In the end we rode from Hurdlow to Middleton Top ... -3 deg C when we set off, warming to -1 deg C at the finish , although there was a 20 minute period of sunshine on the return.
As for views, ...... fog, fog and more fog ...
So, freezing cold, 0 Vis, no views and sheets of ice on the path ...
Great Ride !!!
We had a coffee and hot chocolate at Middleton top ... which was nice ...

Next big winter ride ... ?
Hornsea to Rotherham 100 mile (Via Hull ) with a night stop (52 miles) at Goole ....
Well, why not ....

I did Middleton Top to Hurdlow in the summer, but that was rain, rain & rain, never saw anything either the cloud was so low
