Go and feed the ducks at Bakewell, or head out Newark way, thats allways nice.

Buy a map & go exploring. Theres more to biking than just going where averyone else goes.

Seconded! rivington barn is a nice place - quite a few leaves on the road though, so can't imagine the asphalt to be too grippy.

Tis funny my mate Dave aka (Trig around the bath) lives in Matlock Bath, although his bike is kept at Derby.... he always goes to Matlock!!!!!

seriously though there are plenty of places to go, I live at Alfreton, and know some plenty of places to ride, we get fed up of Matlock...

give me a shout on messages and i ll give you some riding routes/ locations.

cheers
Jamie

lincolnshire is nice - i am a lorry driver and i love it up there - miles of open roads and countryside and brilliant roads - i love the trip up the A46 then down the A15 and across the A52 through grantham and back - very nice and great roads

the A15 is a Red Route - always people killed there - not necessarily bikes either - there is a few signs saying how many people were killed in the past month - scary really

might just be people out after going to the pub and smashing up their car after???
