Route: BL, Cat, Off Road shortcut to the Buxton-Congleton Road, Road to the Raceway, Wiggle through the campus & across to Grin Low Road, Solomons Temple, Woods, Old Hall Hotel.
Conditions: Strong NorthWesterly dropping slighly over the evening, 3 C, sub zero windchill, very wet & muddy offroad.
Stats: 1 Puncture to Dan in the mucky cow path. PTD has one down chumby post pub (does that count??)
Notes:
El Pud’s mojo returneth in 2012 as he modifies Dan’s plan in favour of more adventure Buxton way 🙂
Blown up to the Cat by the wind, collect Shaun & the Doog and its follow El Pud!
We laugh in the face of Danger signs, but surely someone has coated the grass in teflon :-~
Impeded by a stampede of steers we make Grin Low road, and it is indeed not funny slogging into wind to the turn off .
“Ruby Ruby Ruby ” baby (to Jura) in a sheltered spot before Solomons Temple & the grassy playground – more time here next time please mister
A dash through the woods before possibly the smartest hostelry we will visit – bikes in the orchestra pit, chesterfield buffalo burgers, Buxton Blonde or Doom,Hello magazine (Erin’s into fixies, and Kate’s on a rigid) ,El Pres makes the pub for a whole ten minutes before it’s time to head back.
Top gear Challenge – Butty takes the train 50 mins to poynton, the rest brave the cat (and its a long slog – Anyone else regretting pudding on the climb ) many routes home – Maximum points to Lagleyites for returning via chumby clough, Stunt heads low to bottom of the oven & over the forest in 75 mins to Tythy the long way round (with a near mechanical in Sutton), suspect the BL crowd did around 60 mins, and hence the verdict is that bike beat train for Buxton to Macc (despite the wind, smug points to Butty for being home before midnight.
