How does everyone feel about the another ride on September 2nd (Sunday)? It's basically our only free weekend so I thought I'd get a request in early!

Yeah sounds perfect, where do you fancy ?

The ride in the snow that finished with a screaming descent to a fantastic pie shop in Buxton was a belter - like to try it again with all the offroad bits we couldn't do in the snow.

We were planning to head up to the Cat & Fiddle but the drifting snow was a bit iffy so we convoyed over to park on Long Hill and rode along Goyt Valley (I think), then near the end I stole Charlie's pie, in case anyone needed a memory jogger!

Yeah I'll be up for that. We can take in the full route without all the ice and snow about.

Work comes in as and when for me (changed three times already this morning, starting at three am!), but with a little luck I might have some idea at the weekend...

See you there are you camping over and indulging? :twisted:
