[lukechad]

Well wow, I have been on an awesome ride today on my bike, completely enjoyed myself, hardly had time to remember its only about 5 degrees out there

This has given me a taste of what is to come at this meet, thats if I can get the day off work to make it up there

Luke, you've got no idea how much fun these roads are.

It's quite amazing. They go from grin inducing flat-outness to new-pants-required cornering. Definitely the best roads I've ever been on!

I can't picture where those roads are from those pics, but I must know them! Where abouts are we going guv'na?

 

[great advice]

What roads are they? Are they the ones that go over oldham and onto the moors? not far from dovestones?

I had some pretty stunning ones on the "back route" from matlock, all the way to sheffield These went up, down, sharp bends, straights and lots of interesting moments. The only thing that worrys me from the photos ive seen of the manchester roads is how bumpy they are, i feel they could catch me out on a bend only being on 2 wheels.

Lee, yep I think so mate.

You come off J22 of the M62 and continue along into Rishworth.

Take a couple of right turnings and hit the moors. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the area

 

[agw_01]

Well Luke, if you didn't want to take the bike, I'm sure you could blag a life with someone

Not me though, my car's already slow enough

 

[lukechad]

No, thanks though! I will still be attending on 2 wheels.

If I do get the sunday off then its going to be weather permitting still if I come or not

Inside the red area. The roads between Oldham and Huddersfield are the best I have seen and its very handy living on the doorstep to them

Where abouts did you go?

 

[lukechad]

Where abouts did you go?

Started off here in Burton, went to Derby, then to matlock, carried on past matlock to clay cross to a big bike shop. When we had finished there we went on towards sheffield, rotheram, up to yorkshire then back down the M1 to derby again

Wow Daz, great work there mate. They're really good

Didn't realise how long the straight is before the junction. No wonder we both went shooting over it... we must have reached what... 70 mph
