SATURDAY MAY 1st 10.00 HOPE
The plan is for three groups (East Mids, North West, North East) to set off from different points, meet up to ride together to a pub, and then return to their starting points.
Each group will approach the meeting point on the west bank of Ladybower Reservoir from their respective directions.
We will start from Hope on the A6187 as it has a great cafe tuned to the needs of retro folk (bacon sandwiches). The morning and afternoon legs will be about 10 miles each, with the group ride approx 5 miles. It is rather hillier than the usual east mids terrain, but bigger ups = bigger downs. The return leg has good optional bale outs should the morning, pub, or weather have proved too effective.
So come and have a great ride, and be comfortable in the knowledge that the person with the route may be enthusiastic but is also older and slower than most.
