Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vacuum in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, there goes another engine!

Sorry we missed you guys,we got to Ashbourne about 2:30 had tea at spencers cafe.Then headed back towards buxton on the 515,some great roads going down towards I think its the Goylt Valley some loverly sweepers there.Got back about 6:30.A good day had by all.The bikes that were in our company were 3 R1s,04 CBR1000RR Blade and a Ducati 999.

Good road aint it the A515, we took it from Yoxall to Ashbourne. There was me, toggsy and thumper, you could say the usual suspects LOL!! We had a brief stop in Ashbourne for a cuppa then thumper had to head back cos he was off to a christening.
Me and toggsy hit the A515 again and headed up towards Buxton, then up Long Hill to Whaley Bridge (nice). Then a short stretch of dual carriageway towards Chapel en le Frith and onto the A624 to Glossop.
A brief ciggy and fuel stop in Glossop and we hit the Snake Pass.
The first part of the Snake Pass is very twisty but in places very rough surfaces. A shame about the surfaces cos the actual road has some lovely hard bends. However, as you progress along the road, the surface does improve though still rough on some of the bends. Alot of traffic today too. Still a good ride though. Before getting right to Sheffield we doubled back and headed back the way we had come, stopping for a break by the lakes and the turn off to Bamford.
Some lovely scenery….sorry about the strange looking fellow! He just would not move!and here he is again sitting on a double decker bike…strange man!
From there we headed down towards Bamford, Hathersage, Bakewell and on to Matlock, and then B5035 back to Ashbourne, finally onto A515 and home…..

Hope you looked around Hathersage….. that`s where my dad was born and I used to spend my summer holidays, I nearly bought a holiday cottage there a couple of years ago. Also have relatives in Bamford. Glad you had a good day and lovely pics, I love the Snake Pass
Don`t ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!
