Ok ... there seems to bit a little confussion reg meeting points. I am still arranging pilly rides from Rivvy Barn. For anyone still wanting to meet there, I will still be there and arranging from here to ride to Matlock. Those that want to meet elsewhere, can you let me know if you have changed your mind, re a better route for yourself, or have been told otherwise by anyone else. Fank oo :) Alex x

Right, this is getting ridiculously complicated Me and Turtle20 request a pilly. We can meet at Rivvy or Shell & Ian's or even somewhere else in the northwest more convenient for riders, but we are travelling down together so we need 2 pillys. We've managed to sort one ride (meeting at Shell & Ian's) but it seem to be having huge probs finding another....but we can revert to Rivvy if necessary (although that will mean more miles for numbnuts) This is doing my head in!!!

I think the confusion was over the lift from nuts as it's a long way out of his way to rivi so mini posted about meeting at mine. And I have therefor been sorting lifts

Can someone let me know what's happening pls so I can let the pilly seats go to those who have not got a lift

Route Planer 
                             Rivington Barn to Matlock Bath
Heading south from Rivington Barn to Horwich on the A673 to the round about  taking the second exit on to the duel Carrageway past Bolton Waners F/C then under the M61 to the round about taking the first exit onto the A6 towards M/Chester skipping on the outskirts of M/Chester
 
Staying on the A6 heading up to Levenshulme then through to Stockport hiting Stockport town center 
Once through Stockport on the way up to Hazel Grove there are a few speed cams
 
at Hazel Grove we keep left on the A6 this then taking us up to Disley
after Disley there is a nice duel Carrageway  but again be very carefull here as the bridges above  have police cams on them
 
the A6 Meets the A623 at a round about we will take the second exit keeping on the A6 to Dove Holes this is a 30 mph area with some road works and again police with there ray dar guns jump out of the bushes 
 
once through Dove Holes the next place is Buxton a stopping place for Toilets and Fuel if needed 
 
from Buxton again staying with the A6 heading to Bakewell this is a lovely road there are plenty of twisters and some nice sight seeing for the pillions this is a 50 mph area again riders take care here as there are un-marked police bikes also you are being watched from above with helicopters
 
heading into Bakewell theres a round about we take the second exit staying with the A6 this will lead us to Matlock one or two cams on this part of the road 
 
just before we get in to Matlock there has been some road changes ( for the riders that have done this route before but some time ago ) there is a new round about now we take the second exit here this then takes us down to Matlock Bath 
 
Once in Matlock Bath Parking can be hard  if you park on the road side you will have to move your bike with in the hour 
so heading up to the carpark on the left hand side opp the pub called the Fish Pond.
 
see you all on Sunday ride safe 
  Zorbedog 
ps sorry about spelling it almost 1am
