Rach, John, Isobel and Harriet.I had the most stunning ride in Derbyshire last weekend. I stayed with my friends Rach and John on the way home from working in Stockport and took myself off for a 4 hour 'fun' ride from their home in Belper. It was blustery but dry and I creeped higher and higher up the map towards the High Peak, eventually ending up in Heathersage after 2.5 hours.
I only had to return to Cromford not Belper, so I thought I'd have enough time, and my planning was perfect as I rolled into the Wharf at Cromford after 4hrs and 2 minutes! I had lost my map earlier whilst blowing down a steep hill so had to find the last bit of my route by memory. It was fine. My heart rate looked like a mountain range when I downloaded it!
I am very fond of Derbyshire and in the future would like to move up there. It would be so great to be near Rach and John. They are amazing friends and have a lovely family. Isobel was learning to ride her bike and John had her doing figure of eights in the carpark in Cromford! She only fell of half a dozen times but was full of smiles afterwards! Harriet isn't quit there yet (being only 8 months) but we'll have her signed up for her first triathlon in no time.
