Hey guys.

I realised the other day that while I've lead a few of the Peak District meet ups before, I've never arranged one myself.

I'm thinking that we should have one last ride out before the weather gets really bad and a lot of you put your bikes away for winter.

So, I propose we spend a Saturday traversing some of the best biking roads in the country, finishing up in Matlock Bath for chips.

I say Saturday, November the 3rd.

It's about 3 weeks away. While I'd like to give you all a bit more notice, we really don't have that long before it gets too cold to enjoy yourself.

Drop some suggestions for a route and I'll come up with a map. If I don't get any suggestions, I know enough good places to go - I just want to see where you guys feel like seeing first!

Map:

Meeting at CMC Clay Cross at 10:30.
Time enough for breakfast/lunch (Leedsrider will attest to the awesomeness of the Fazer cob*). We'll leave around half 11, so people have some time to show up.

*A cob is a Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire word for what you might call a butty, bread roll or bap.

I'll update this post with a confirmed and maybe list. It is currently as follows:

Confirmed:
Me!
The Brilliant Bikermole.
The Legendary Leedsrider93.
The Fabulous Female Biker.
The Sensational Sstimmyy and his Gracious Girlfriend (I don't even know).
The Limitless LemonSoulMan.
The Ravishing Rickster303.
The Ecstatic ElliotReidMD.
The Bountiful BlackOutzUK.
The Benevolent Black-Rider.
The Majestic MikesMotorbike

Maybe:
The Keen KatanaKid91.
The Dangerous Daffee360.
The Champion Chessecake94.
The (self proclaimed) Gorgeous GadgetsandWheels.
The New Nieldo.
The Man, Mysteriousvlogger.

Hope to see you there guys!

And just to add: if anyone is getting a hotel on Friday night, I'll be up for going out for dinner. We did it on the Peaks meet about 2 weeks ago or whenever it was, and it was fantastic. Just get a hotel around Derby and it'll be awesome :)
 
Yeah, why not. I'll do the hotel thing if somebody wants to share.

I'll be coming late on Friday though, I don't finish work until 4pm :)

I shall stick your name upon the beautiful, yet currently lacking, attendance list.
 
Put Frenchie (Mikesmotorbike) down as a maybe as well. I am going to convince him to come. :P

Also i'm up for sharing a hotel room on the friday night :D
 
I like your plan, but a slight adjustment would include Snake Pass too.

I tided up your map, took 3 miles off your total and added in a few better roads. What do you think?

Just noticed that that map goes from CMC to Matlock to Buxton etc.

What if we did it the other way around, so we ended in Matlock? Chips for all!

So CMC, Snakes Pass, Cat and Fiddle, Matlock bath?

I like it. It would be better for to be honest Matlock is closer to home. ;)

Exactly that.

Plus, and I know I keep saying it, chips!

so same route as last time lol.

Completely different.

Last times route went from Chesterfield to Buxton along the A6, down the separate road off the side of the Cat and Fiddle to somewhere south of Macclesfield before coming back up and along the Cat and Fiddle proper.

From there it's the same - down the A515.
 
Put me down as a maybe :) Might have to bring my girlfriend along as I've told her I cant afford to go away to Paris but either way. with her or without, I will do my best to make it!

Awesome man! Added you to the list.

Added Chessecake94 to the maybe list as well. I think he said he was definitely coming, but I can't remember now.
