Given that it is likely to be icy tomorrow I will be out on my mountain bike. I thibk it will be a good day to do the Derby North Circuit.

Hey mate how did the north route go? Wish I'd have joined you, the roads were lethal!

It was still quite slippery even on a MTB as my elbow will testify! Thanks to Dave and John for your patience on the way back I was flagging a bit with my semi inflated rear tyre and squeaky bearing!

No probs, it was a tough day. Not done a 4.5 hour ride for a while and my off-road skills are definitely rusty so I was having to concentrate really hard just to stay upright. Up for some more though.

We ended up going to Tissington to the (excellent) Old Coach House cafe via some very icy back lanes, bridleways and green lanes. Came back via Carsington and did a bit more on-road on the way home as we wanted to get back. I ended up with over 50 miles which felt like a lot more!

Grim ride today with DaveB and PhilC .Strong northerly and rain Flagg .cafe closed.days like that are character building.you find out who you are.turns out I'm Doris Day.
