With the Snake Pass still closed due to a landslide we had to set off for a quiet traffic free run to the top, and what an amazing ride it was. It may be early February but by mid morning sun tan cream was needed, it was much more like a warm May Sunday.
The Snake was full of riders of all types enjoying a almost traffic free run , there seemed to be smiling happy groups of club riders from all over the North and Midlands , plus plenty of friendly walkers, and family groups on bikes near Hagg Farm.
What few cars came by were all courteous except for the one dickless wonder in a Range Rover, hooting at cyclists and passing by with only cm’s to spare despite having the whole road to use.
Return via the Ladybower and Strines Inns for a brilliant ride.
They should shut it once a month and hold a traffic free day up there.
