We are planning to have 2 groups for the off road ride this year as last year although it was a great day, to have 22 riders on the lanes of Derbyshire in one group is just to many. Its a sure way to get unwelcome attention from the individuals who would have us stop using the trails at all.
Group 1 will be taken by Phil ( Flipfly ) he will be taking ideally no more than 10 for a beginner/occasional laner day that will start at 10am sharp and finish around 1300-1400 depending on how everyone feels.
Group 2 will be taken by myself Gaz (skygod) this will me more of an intermediate group for folk that have been a few times and consider themselves able to handle their machine reasonably well.
All lanes will be suitable for twins as all the recces have been done on one.
This will again start at 10am Prompt and we will aim to get back to the campsite for between 1700-1800 again depending on how the group feels.
For the folk that don`t want a full day of it, you can peel off at anytime( just let someone know, ideally me).
The meeting point for both rides will be in the car park.
10 am means 10am wheels rolling out of the carpark. Make an effort to get there on time as you will be on your own if you cant be arsed.
0945 is ideally when you will be down there as this gives you chance to find out who your going with and to have a final chat about how we plan to run the day.
There will be a fuel stop at some point but please ensure you have enough for about 70 miles as we will all be able to fill up at lunch in one go. As we are out all day we will have a good hour for a lunch break.
Can you add your name to the list so we have an idea of numbers of who wants to go and what group you think would suit you best.
DONT decide to see what the weather is like on the day because if 20 put there name on the list but 40 turn up because its sunny then some will be disappointed as we wont take a group thats too big.
Any questions then do ask.
