Posted October 2, 20159 yr Moderator Fancy an afternoon ride out to Matlock via cat and fiddle if anyones up for it.going via Lymm to Macc then down via Cromford and up to Matlock. prob leave house about 12:45
October 2, 20159 yr Moderator Would love to but waiting on time to rebuild my fuel tap, too dangerous to ride now. Had to skip a local bike night tonight too.
October 4, 20159 yr Author Moderator I can't make it but have good day Drew missed a cracking Day Tommy.  latte at Cat and fiddle,then head towards Ashborne and a quick left on a fast B road. onto another A515 to newhaven then a left down th best road I've ridden. Tree lined not many cars and very twisty, perfect. Into Cromford (very pretty) and left to Matlock  took a few pickies just to show Kev it wern't raining ready for the Matlock illuminations saw this V8 there, nver seen one before and then 2 show up!  this was the better one Â

Glad you had a good day, pics look great, will have to do it next year as I've never been.
October 4, 20159 yr Author Moderator we'll do it again when the time is right mate.  Hope Chunk isn't too bad?

I blame the IOM
October 4, 20159 yr Author Moderator this is the road, apparantly one of 2 most dangerous roads in the country.I think the other was cat and fiddle :/ Â
