Unlike Sunday , Saturday was wet and windy but warm enough.
Not the best day to go over the tops to meet Eric at Owlerbar but that's what we did anyway.
Eric was still smarting from the damaged ribs he sustained during a drunken altercation with a bank and a tree!
So we gave him the sympathy he deserved! The soul purpose of today's ride was to take a look at a poppy field Eric found and had a desire to walk naked through! Thankfully the naked stuff he will do in his own time.
The poppy field is amazing and there is a path to follow if you have permission.
Eric turned back early as he was in lots of pain much to our amusement! He also had a puncture so it really wasn't his day at all.
We continued to Cromford for lunch before heading up Via Gellia and a pit stop at the Nags Head for a pint of their brilliant Wim-bull-don beer, I think its their finest so far. So all in all not a bad 70 miles, could have been worse, could have had Eric's ribs. BBQ anyone?!!!
