The route that we posted this week has Calke as the last section. This is ok before 9.00ish or after dark. You could ride it anticlockwise to deal with the Calke problem but it is a far more enjoyable route ridden clockwise.
I should be riding from Ticknall on Saturday morning, will confirm tomorrow night, inwhich case I'd be delighted to have company.
A date of April 23rd (Saturday) is being suggested for a re-run of last years much enjoyed get-together of the East Mids, NE and NW contingents. Probably coverging on LadyBower visitor centre as last time.
