A morning ride of 70 miles and 6'700 feet in 4hrs 45min out to Peak Forest, Chapel, Kettleshulme, Goyt Valley and along the Morridge to Onecote and home via Hartington and Flagg. Today was the busiest I have seen the roads for cyclists and motor cyclists since last summer.

Very hot and surprisingly breezy,mainly headwind, on the tops. Lots of cafes open and most with queues outside. I used none of them but did stop at Parsley Hay to refill my water bottles and stick my head under the, very cold, outside tap!
