I made myself a bit less visible on here when someone I knew IRL started going through my posts and being weird about it.
My domestic life is a mess at the moment and I can't commit to stuff this weekend, let along down the line. If I do come, I'll be on a road bike.
My suggestion for a lovely route from Macc would be as follows:
It stays off the main roads by and large, save for Cat & Fiddle at the end, but most of that section will be a descent. It should be doable on fixed. Mam Nick will be "fun". It wouldn't let me route up Abney Moor to go through Hathersage because some of that road has fallen away but it can be done by bike.

In terms of classic climbs, this route probably doesn't deliver. No Snake Pass for instance.
It's more of an off the beaten track Peaks ride but it does include Mam Nick and Long Hill.
You can take in Snake Pass by going up the Sheffield side from Derwent Water which is probably more pleasant in my opinion:
I think most of the action has / will happen here - could just update the thread title? @%~} - not that I know how to tag your username - seems to know their way around. I missed last year with a broken leg and have never been to the Peaks so apologies in advance but I would love to take on as many of the best/classic climbs and views possible even if some are repeats of last year. 'Possible' meaning within a 60-70 mile loop of Maccy and doable (whatever that means) fixed.
