Derby & Notts Scenic Run

[Ian Podmore]

Planned, at this early stage?

Just been away for the weekend, camping near A515 between Ashbourne and Buxton. Spent the early morning today listening to the huge numbers of bikes out for an early morning blat round the Peak District.

I'll dig out the route I had before and see if it still fits. We would be aiming to be back from lunchtime.

I'll get a route posted up for mid-week latest.  SWMBO may join me this time as well.

[Major Stare]

Sorry ian, cant make this one, i'll be at Rockingham

I'll try and post up the route tomorrow morning, so that perhaps we can meet Will somewhere. First heading will be Melton Mowray via  the  A6006 anyway.

[Brum]

Anyone seen a weather forecast for Sunday?

BTW Mrs Brum will be attending assuming suffient ambient temperature and lack of percipitation

[KerryS]

Just checked the weather forecast and, sorry to report, it's cr*p. Seemingly solid rain most of the day.

And I've just washed the car, so it's my fault..

Just watched the BBC broadband weather forecast.... Looks like rain for the morning, just like the last time we tried to do this route.

Oh well, just doing the 'detail' planning, I'm tempted to do it regardless of the weather    

Anyone else insane enough to turn up regardless of the weather?

[itguy]

I could still be tempted - saves me washing the car  

Anyone else going to give it a try?

[Hammy]

er not if its wet - sorry I'm too soft

[Ian Podmore]

The route so far is  

Clock to A6/A6006

A6/A6006 to Melton Mowbray (ETA approx 9.45)

Melton Mowbray to B6047/A6

B6047/A6 to B664/A6 via A427

B664/A6 to Uppingham

Uppingham to Calcecott

Caldecott to The Coach House Inn at South Luffenham (ETA approx 11.00)

Then round Rutland Water back via Oakham, Melton Mowbray etc.

Mileage to Coach House is 72.1

The weather forecast has improved a little for after 09.00 but it certainly isn't going to be a sunny morning!

I'll be at the Clock for 09.00 anyway if anyone else wants to go. if anyone wants to meet en-route, call or text me on 07970 289 341

Ian

[itguy]

My attendance is confirmed

[jak]

I'll will be there unless the rain is really bad, I will call Ian if i'm not going to be there.

John.

[lespaul]

Will really depend on the weather in the morning, as I can't see my 6 year old son finding getting soaked much fun.

Typical British weather, was really looking forward to this aswell  

Darren

[Ian Podmore]

The rains not here, the forecast still has a total covering of rain in the area.....

Just typical, let's hope they have got  it totally wrong.
