How about this? Seems like a pretty chill loop

Elevation: distance ratio looks about right, eminently doable

Looks good, doesn't use too much of the main A roads, which are fuckin awful (close passes and heavy tarmac).
Takes in Brickworks, which is nice, comes down Thorncliffe, which may be a bit spinny on fixed, but is probably easier than going up it.
Don't know how many stops you take, Flash Bar is the best around, but may be a bit early in that ride, but I work on the principle that it's never too early for a tea break

I'll gladly help out with a route, it'll start around the Macclesfield side of the Peaks though (as that's where I ride and know).
Gimme a shout nearer the time, with a rough outline of what kinda mileage and verticality is required, as an example my rides usually equate to 1000ft up per 10 miles forwards, but that is on a geared bike as my knees can't handle fixed anymore.
Glad you had a good time and the north didn't dump a shit load of wet on you all.
