Rode the Staffs Peak Grimpeur yesterday. It was a day of road closures and hot tarmac. The route had been altered in advance to avoid a couple of major closures. Several others popped up on the day. For the most part we were waved through and did get some long, if a little sticky, car-free stretches.
Cocked up navigation at the end. Wanted to take the alternate route through Pott Shrigley but my mental map of the lanes was a little rusty. Took a left too early and before I knew it I was back at the bottom of the hill in Bollington. Not what the legs needed at that point.
Only one detour-on-a-detour this week, taking the Old Road to Buxton, rather than Long Hill. 5/10, a quiet climb but a mediocre bridleway at the top.
