Any volunteers to lead a road ride on Saturday morning? Plenty to see and visit in the Peak District, but always good to have someone who knows where to go at the front
Hi Andrew

Andrew
Looks like you've done it?
volunteer for tail end charlie would be appreciated
Very good route
Well done Andrew
Happy to volunteer for tail end charlie duty.
Brin, Andy and others.
Did this route yesterday.
Set off at 4pm from Chesterfield, picked up the route just north of Holymoorside and arrived back home at 8.30 and that was a steady ride.
Andy, it's a very, very good route mate, really nice country roads (Plenty of tractors about on single track roads ) great scenery and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just a couple of thoughts.
1) A run up by ladybower to the fairholmes cafe ? bit of a tourist trap these days but still a nice scenic run for those unfamiler with the area? (even nicer when there's water!
2) I can organise a brew and biscuit stop for everone in Holymoorside if you wish?
Just checking in from Sunny Ulm Germany. Still 34deg C and muggy.
Glad you enjoyed route. Not back to Uk till Sat 3rd Sept. May refine if time permits.
Regards
Andy
