Sorry not out for this one your,
Does anyone have any plans for this run yet?
I'm racing this day, sorry. Think Jules is too. If anyone has a gps, I have all of the long runs for the past 18 months I can provide. Just name your cafe.
would this be a good day to go to the mills as most of us know where were going with that one? or maybe its a day to go over to macclesfield? then we have the option of hilly or flat? the route that craig led us over to mac last time where we had the massive flood was a good one, sorry cant remember the cafe name. but that would be a good one, some challenging hills and some nice descents and hopefully the weather will be better than last time we went up that way where we had snow. 😀
think titch has just volunteered to lead the long run!
i dont know the way to macclesfield, but would happily help who ever knows directions, or i could lead us to the mills (i should know that route like the back of my hand) i dont mind 😛
blaze farm is the cafe i was thinking of. if anyone knows the way i will be happy to try and keep the whole group together? we could have 2 groups going out to the same cafe and then split when we come to the main hills or if we have a big turn out go different routes if we have at least 2 people who know the way.
There should be a few who know the way to blaze farm. Bead in mind that would make two successive weekends in the same area tho!
What about tittersworth reservoir cafe? Best scones in Cheshire, and a gun hill climb to get there. Could go over the cloud on the way?
I'll lead. I'm not racing with the hope we may be moving house I didn't enter the race.
i dont mind which we do just thought we hadnt been over to blaze farm for a while so thought that might be one to go to. but if jules knows the way to tittesworth resevoir however you spell it, to include gunn hill and maybe the cloud would be pretty good. how many miles would this be? about 80?
60ish if you go straight there and straight back.
think we should put a extra couple of miles in on the way there 🙂 unless weather is abseroutely shocking.
I would like to start getting some longer runs in, what is the elevation profile like? is this one for me? ❓
dont know if you spoke to jules last night jim? but jules is on about taking us on kempy's training ride to the mills. so not sure what the profile is like but jules said it would be around 85 miles.
