Do bikers still congregate there, if so is it just Sundays or Saturdays too?

My children want to see some bikes and a trip to MB may be on the cards if it’s still a thing.

Went a few weeks ago and it was very busy. May not be as busy whilst getting colder though.

Was there a few weeks ago too; Saturday I seem to recall.

Saw my first Kawa HS2 thingy; very good looking bike.

Weather is better today than tomorrow so more likely to be more bikes there today but it is pretty cool so don't expect it to be packed.

Head up to cmc at Clay Cross.
That way they can see loads of bikes, plus has a cafe.

It's the illuminations at the moment so busier than normal.

We went there yesterday. It was medium busy. Some bikes and some interesting cars.

We were going to go up on the cable car until we discovered that it was £50!

Stopped off there a few weekends back. Seen it busier but still several bikes about as the weather was pretty decent.

Matlock Bath has always been a biker's mecca (Don't get confused with Matlock two miles away)

It was much busier in the 1970/80's though.

Other venues are Devil's Bridge Cumbria, Rivington Barn, Squire's Café, and Hawes.

I've never seen so many fish and chip shops in such a small area.
