A cold and windy ride this morning of 42 miles and 4'250 feet in 3hrs 2 min. Down into Great Longstone and up Longstone Edge over to Foolow and Eyam. Up to the Barrel and down to Great Hucklow before a drag to Peak Forest and on to Peak Dale, Doveholes ( famous a few years ago for being the worst place to live in Britain according to The Sun) and Buxton.
Up through Harpur Hill, Earl Sterndale and Parsley Hay before a run down into Monyash and then home.
A few cyclists about but no where near as many as on previous Saturdays. The sensible ones stayed in and avoided the bitterly cold wind.
