so long as the weathers not shocking ill be having another blast out if anyone fancys it?

usual sort of route through the peaks.

starting at the winking man pub inbetween leek and buxton at 4:30 for a 5pm depart.

couple of rules

1. no stupid overtaking moves. if you think your holding someone up signal to let them pass at a convient place.

2. to save people getting lost if you are about to turn off somewhere make sure there is someone in the convoy behind you (unless you are at the back) this way no one should miss there turn off and it takes the pressure off people not knowing where they are going.

couple of vids from the last run (thanks andy)

went for the run last sunday and been thinking about a couple of changes.

first one is the time. would anyone have any objections to doing a late run, say meet at 4:30 and leave at 5 for the run. reason is all day sunday i was stuck in traffic and it was crap until i was heading back home at about 6 and there was no traffic on the roads at all.

second thing was the meeting place, if we start later it might be better to be closer to the best roads and work around there totally avoiding chatsworth all together. was thinking of meeting at the winking man pub inbetween leek and buxton like we have done before.

any thoughts?
