Saturday morning I waited in the car park of the Bentley Brook
Inn for the team to arrive. They had overnighted in Ashbourne, a few miles
south.
Just before they turned up I was joined by another guest rider - Pete. Then
the support motor-home and a few minutes later, Gavin, Martyn and Paul came
breezing into the car park. After dumping my overnight stuff and rack on
the motor-home and introductions over, we pulled out of Fenny Bentley to
pick up the Tissington Trail, heading North West toward Buxton. The trail
is actually an old railway line...perfect for covering the ground quickly
without a lot of effort.
Gavin and I pulled away a little from the others, enjoying a good chat as the first few miles rolled under our wheels. Once or twice we stopped to which allowed Gavin to take on a few more carbs.
