Where ?

The day dawned bright and sunny in Rochdale - opened the curtains to be greeted by severe frost. Oops - not a good start since the gritters don't come up my road.

So, get the bike out (2 degrees) and go for a walk down the road with my camera to check things out. This is what I found.

So, that was it for me. There is danger and excitement riding bikes - but that was just silly. Ring up Gary and tell him the (bad) news. Then, off to the golf course for some severe flagellation (aka hitting golf balls)

Gary now continues the story

A cold January morning and twelve riders turn up for a ride to Chesterfield. Alan couldn’t join us as he couldn’t get his bike out of the street because of thick ice. We had to re-route slightly as the planned route included B roads that might have been unsafe due to freezing conditions.

So we head for Glossop and the A57 via Holmfirth. The pace is slow as Gary leads the group to the Snake Pass Inn for some dinner. As it was a late start and a slow ride, everyone agreed to miss Chesterfield and Peter Pan led the group through some nice twisties via Matlock and the Cat and Fiddle to Stockport where he made the remaining six members a nice warm drink before we all went home.

Photos will follow when Gary gets the right lead for his camera.
