Peak based winter bivy (the week after the proper ones!)

Just realised that I have the Norton's Xmas lunch on the Saturday. So best to meet at 3pm at the Fox House pub (GR - SK 266802) plenty of parking there. Probably dangerous to start the ride in a pub but hey ho...

I was hoping there'd be a station near the start.

Hathersage or Grindleford is your best bet for a train.

Yep, Grindleford looks very handy.

We can swing by grindleford station, or will be at the Peacock Inn at Owler bar first, thats a 20 minute ride from Dore and Totley Station (theres loads of free parking there too if people want to go from there as an alt start)

Looks like my wife is on nights that weekend, so I'll sadly have to miss this

Might be in for this. Driving back from Nottingham to Manchester on the 17th so could quite easily chuck the bike and kit in the car and come join you at the Fox House..

How far (or how long time wise) do people want to ride for? Thinking of heading over to Edale, eat and beers at the Ramblers then bivy close to Hope Cross. There's also the option of a rainy route via bakewell and then utilising the handy ledges in the monsal tunnel, nice and close to the Stables bar at the Monsal Head hotel...

Sound OK?

Sounds good to me Ian. I'll probably start riding Sat am and meet you all at the Fox House.

As it's a jolly, I'd have thought 20-30 miles each way wouldn't be too ridiculous. That said, I have to keep up with Large for 30 miles...I'll be a shadow of my former self when we get to the pub! :)

Looking forward to some new trails/pubs/ales.

Scott, it's a social ride, and if you get the first round in There'll be no racing to get there first!

Scattamah · Post by **Scattamah** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 12:28 am

I remember my last social ride watching you disappear up a hill in front of me into the storm. :)
That all said, I'm in no hurry...except to get that first round in!

Plenty of gates to wait at for regrouping

Ian have u a route in mind I'm up for a longish one if the weather is good

slarge · Post by **slarge** » Sun Dec 11, 2016 10:18 pm

Ok, so my plan for next weekend is to get to the Fox House pub around 10'ish on Saturday AM, then I have a 35km route down towards Chatsworth and Bakewell (some of the Peak200 in reverse), then heading up through GT longstone and Stoney Middleton and then road work past Grindleford station and back to Fox House to meet IanFitz and anyone else coming.
No idea how long it will take, but probably 3-4 hours.

Anyone is welcome to join me, it will be leisurely.

If anyone needs picking up from anywhere let me know (by "picking up" , I mean I can ride to them and ride with them, unless they are at a station before 10 or around 2-3, in which case I could pick them up in the van).

Plan at the moment:
Slarge, mike and scattamah meeting at the Fox House pub at 10am, going for a bimble on unladen bikes then meeting Ianfitz back at the Fox House at 3pm.

Who else is coming, please addyour name to the list
