Sharing is caring 🫣

So sorry folks I won’t be able to entertain you this week I’m well and truly in the dog house, keep safe and healthy 😜 remember luv is invective , A&B

Afraid we won’t be there. I’m all well again but early flight Monday. Also not sure it’s a great idea to expose my just recovered ear to the cool air of the Peak District. Have a great time all, looks like it’ll be sunny.

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

I'll be doing the normal A50/A38 services (DE65 6DX) pre meet to leave about 9am.

 

We will be doing the Wirksworth and B5056 route 👍

We went on our run which was around a hour to bring us to the biker's cafe, The Yondermann for lunch

 

 

Good views through the window in the cafe. We parked in the overflow and left the parking at the front to the bikes, of which there were lots of.

 

After lunch the cakes flowed

 

 

Andrew

 

 

All of us

 

 

As we were leaving lots more bikes arrived

 

 

We went down to Baslow to enjoy some more of this sparkling autumn sunshine and some more cake

 

 

 

Parked at the Pavillion Cafe, Baslow

 

 

Fantastic day folks, thank you very much, see you next time!! I'm rushing off to pack, we are taking the Westfield up to the Lake District in the morning, excited or what!!!

 

 

[Glynn Walters]

Brilliant sunny if slightly chilly run out again cheers Julie👍

 

hopefully we’re allowed back to the Baslow cafe after a senior committee members blatant disregard for the rules😂

Great day out in the Peaks yet again, thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative

 

Starting early at Willington, we had 3 Westfields, an MNR and a VX220... oh and Hedley's BMW 3 series, thankfully he'd brought a skidlid so jumped in with me to experience the Honda.

 

 

We managed about 7 miles before we lost Ben as he had to double back to find his mobile phone.... apparently he had decided to throw his shiny iPhone onto the A38 at 70mph.... needless to say its not as shiny after a bit of gravel rash! 😂

 

Landing at Quackers we ended up with an awesome line up of 10 cars, including newbie Jake in his lovely Tiger Avon.

 

 

After breakfast, we watched the main convoy leave before Hedley and I headed south followed by Lee.

 

Did anyone realise our Social Media Guru was a medieval jousting expert!?!? Neither did I until today.....

 

Coming into Bakewell we had stopped in a queue of traffic, which @HB46443 saw as a great opportunity to start waving his stick around to get some Insta360 footage.... with perfect timing, Hedley managed to harpoon a cyclist who was ignoring the 1.5m rule and undertaking the stationary cars 🤦‍♂️😂

 

Thankfully no harm was done and our crash helmets hid our laughter from the angry man in lycra!

 

Just south of Bakewell, Lee stayed on the A6 to drive through Matlock Bath while Hedley and I headed for the B Roads to get the tyres warmed up on my favourite B5056 😉
