I am running a weekend cycling meet based at Heathy Lea. If there are sufficient numbers I can organise some kind of group meal.My proposed off road route is here (starting at the Yorkshire Bridge):

If people would prefer to do a road based route, or something shorter/ longer you are welcome to put together your own route/ trim off bits of mine to suit. Highlights will include:The Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires (one of the Peak District’s stranger pubs with well kept beer/ cider)Bakewell Tarts from BakewellRelaxed mountain biking over the top of Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt EdgesThe delight of descending the Long Causeway at StanageA sore pair of sit bones on Monday morning!
I plan to head up to Heathy Lea on the Friday night after work and will drive up to my start point. If you would like to join please let me know.
If you would prefer to treat it as a pair of 1 day rides rather than a touring weekend you are absolutely welcome to leave sleeping bags etc in the hut and collect them at the end of your ride on Sunday.
