Yondermans

Its our favourite cafe by a long way this. Amazing choice value and service here. Foods great too.
This weekends ride was cold, warmed up riding to the gliding club then onto Yondermans after getting separated into 3 groups. No idea how that happened.
After the Yondermans it was down Monsal and up Cressbrook and over Little Huck low and down the crazy steep one into Bradwell

Next stop Nags Head were Pete managed to get tackled to the ground by his own bike in the car park. What a twonk. Photo of his latest injury. It did bleed apparently!

Saturday clubs weekend away.

Very late in the year but we where blessed with excellent weather. The wind was not as cruel as it usually is on the East coast.

Base for the two nights was the Derbyshire miners convalescent home which was the best venue so far in our travels. Sorted by Ray Mason, the people there really looked after us and everything was first class.
First days ride was into Boston and we actually sat outside to drink coffee and eat Danish custards.
With plenty of beers and a few games of snooker in the evening I think everyone had a great weekend. Its nice to get a few flat rides in now and again. I've added a shot of Erics new winter cycling shoes.

Strange as it seems for the 21st October the whole place was decked out for Christmas.

Punctures

Not my best day today. Two punctures on a very dry cold sunny Saturday.
Great to have Mallorca Mick back out. Rob Wormald the Sheffrec chairman also put in an appearance. top bloke and top rider.
Flagg cafe appears closed for the winter but Monyash remains a close favourite. Beers at the Grouse sat outside in the sunshine.

Goyt Valley in October!!

Possibly the best days riding I've had in the Uk this year. Sun cream in October is unheard of.
Also to have some Sunday lads out on a Saturday was great.
Not the flat test route out but I really enjoyed it. Great weather, great company and amazing scenery. Goyt valley is probably the finest valley to ride out of that we have. Totally unspoilt and traffic free. With the weather touching record highs for October it would have been wrong not to ride all day. I had a smile on my face all day and that's what its all about really.
Big mention to Ness who rode 71miles for the first time while Marc Etches went to a sweaty bike show. I bet he was sat in a car on the way home while we drank beer in the Nags. Beer tastes all the better after a day like this.
Thanks to everyone who made October 1st the best days riding this year.
