Hi to everyone, I will be posting up lots of info this week to help the day run smoothly.
Forecast for the weekend is a heatwave so don't forget the sun cream. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656617

THE START LOCATION.
HASSOP STATION CAFE DE451NW. We need to leave this location at exactly 10:30am. So if you require breakfast here please arrive early, they open at 9am. After parking here please make your way to the payment desk on the Patio area. Our man Glenrobbo will take your money and we have 3 options. 1. £2 per car entry fee, this gets you a map and car sticker while stocks last. Option 2 is £2 per car + 1 buffet lunch ticket = £10. Option 3 is £2 per car + 2 lunch tickets = £18. ( If possible the correct change would be great for us ) Thanks

LUNCH VENUE, THE KNIGHTS TABLE, SK17 0SN. We have managed to get the entire pub and car park booked just for our event on Saturday. It is a large car park but it may take some time and patience to get us all in. If we still have any unsold buffet tickets left they can be bought here. We aim to leave here at 2pm.

FINISH LOCATION, THE MONSAL HEAD HOTEL DE45 1NL. This pub has some of the best views of any pub in the Peak District and is not to be missed. It is a Bank Holiday weekend and the car park will be full. I have reserved a field just for TVR,s next to the pub. You will need to drive through the large public car park and into the overflow car park. We have our own field next to that one....Great beer and great views.

Hi James, we should be at the Monsal at about 3:30.

It will be difficult to do a briefing on the day so I will post some info here today, thanks.
MORNING RUN TO BUXTON.
Safety 1st everyone, the Peak District and our route has many blind bends. The stationary queue round the next blind bend could be a line of TVR,s. Be ready for the many cyclist, walkers, tractors, horse riders, sheep and tourists in the area.
Every junction needing a right or left decision will have TVR arrrows there ( except Buxton ) These arrows are quite small but please look out for them.
We only have 2 re-groups before we reach the lunch stop in Buxton. One is our usual photo stop near Mam Tor at Castleton with the opportunity to get out. The other is a slow moving rolling re-group at Owler Bar ( check the map for Owler Bar.) Just follow the lead car around this very large oval area. ( we feel its important early on in the run that people are not seperated too much at the back, we appreciate how far you have travelled to be with this group on the day ) We do have a turn point at the Ladybower dams so dont worry if you see 70 or more TVR,s going past you the other way. Great for photos and videos. Try not to miss the right turn at the end of this bridge...!!! Check the photo for the bridge

AFTERNOON RUN TO MONSAL.
We will try to leave the Knights table together. It will be a bit difficult to keep in one large group. Enjoy the lovely Peak District scenery and look out for the very twisty mini Alpine hill just after Crowdecote. We will not have our usual re-group just before Matlock Bath due to that re-group area being closed. But as you go through Matlock Bath still make some noise for the bikers.
I have had a request from some friends in the tourist town of Bakewell and the local paper who want to take photos. So hope you dont mind if we go into town and fill the town with TVR,s just before heading off to the finish at Monsal Head about 10 minutes from here. When you have gone round the town drive off in the direction towards Buxton on the A6 then follow the brown tourist signs for Monsal Head.
Bikers in Matlock Bath....
