I dont, i just wanted to know if anyone did, because i'd like to go cus that looks like 1 goooood meet up when i've passed a few times. I would go, but choppers, 600's, 1000's, and then me. On a Gilera DNA 50 hahhaha....

But yeah. Does anyone else go?

I went up with a friend on a CG125 once, was alright but the ride there was dull... I left him behind for a few miles then had a break for him to catch up

Get yourself out to Matlock! Only ever been once when I had my YBR. Don't let others put you off, we all have to start somewhere!

Wasn't too bad last time we (North) went to Matlock. Weather - ace, chippy - ace, car breakdown - priceless!

I'm a regular, there's a few nice routes from where I live, A6, Chesterfield Rd, Ashbourne Rd and via Gellia or Winnats Pass and Chatsworth Smile

No one's ever taken the piss out of me for having a small bike, although I swear as soon as everyone sees the L plates and pony tail they watch as I park up, expecting a domino of bikes as I get off Laughing It really isn't that bad though...

I recommend Kostas Cafe Wink they serve the best chips around and the chairs outside make for good people watching!

i only live in chesterfield so only about 10 miles away. I go from time to time, mostly just pass through though. Once you've been once it pretty samey. Never understood the people who go there every week, sit about sweating in leathers for hours on end then ride home

There's your problem, that's like me riding to Buxton every weekend... Sure Long Hill is pretty fun but I don't think 10 miles is far enough...

Can't say I've ever been a sweaty Betty in my leathers Laughing
