• Cheers for the route help. I have done a small tidy and we have a version that goes through Lyme NT and one which doesn't. I can't say which might be more demoralising - those bumps with beautiful scenery or a flatter route with a slightly grim looking approach to Macc. I think we'll decide on the day. I have also routed us to the Cafe Adventure in Hope. Good bike parking, looks legit and with fewer opportunities to fanny about and sit in a pub moaning about how hilly the fuckin the Midlands are.

    People who are riding please can you grab both these routes before the weekend:

  • First route looks good! I'd suggest we stay on the B6049 at around 26 miles until we get to Bradwell? Although I like little lane and a hair raising drop, the b-road looks like a nice flowing #fixiefriendly descent.

    Not local. Could unintentionally be suggesting our ultimate doom.

  • Yeah that was my own not-a-local tweak. That b road just looks meh and the street view looked like OK tarmac so put it in. I see what you mean about the descent tho.
