Hello to my fellow Swans, following on from the success of our last AwayDayRide to Bristol/Cheddar here is another Adventure proposal for you to consider? As there were a few mutterings after Cheddar about & certainly somewhere I’d like to ride so I have planned a route in the Peak District for your considerations.
The ride route is mapped at 48 miles with some +4000 ft of climbing, 3 hrs @ 15 mph. This will head towards Bakewell before turning west to Monyash for the cafe stop at 24 mls at The Old Smithy Tea Rooms & Restaurant. Then onto Longnor after which we will turn south to Holme End to & through Stanshope (40), Ilam then back into Ashbourne to finish.
There is scope to modify the route either to a shorter (C?) or longer (A?) after the mid-stop if required? I’ll lead the B, for the A maybe someone would like to lead a separate ride or just combine as usual, so an can early call for A & C ride leaders.
Again meet at Ganderton’s on Sunday 30th June @ 6:45 for a 7:00 depart heading for Ashbourne, head to & up the M1/A50 to get there (100 Mls/2 hrs), use the free Car park at Cockayne Ave (DE61 1EJ) & at the finish there are 3 cafes: the Flower Cafe, Jack's Rabbits & the Courtyard Cafe & Bistro to choose from.
Please an early call for drivers/vehicles to carry those wishing to ride - thanks in advance to any of you that volunteer. So are you all up for another adventure? If so please click the Attending Button as usual & looking forward to all your comments.
