T.J. Cycles International 'Flying Gate' Weekend 2012

The 14^th 'Flying Gate' Weekend
'The White Peaks Ride' in memory of Jim Thomas
will take place at Hartington, Derbyshire
on Friday 31^st August, 1^st & 2^nd of September

Last updated 22.01.2012

Headquarters will be based at 'BANK FARM' Hartington, SK17 0AD, which is on a gated road within walking distance of the centre of Hartington.
Jane Pilkington is looking forward to meeting you all and she wishes you to use the farmhouse as your home for the weekend.
She is renowned for her hospitality and good food. Our evening meals (in candle light) will be taken in the barn
and will be a two course full roast and plenty of traditional puddings to choose from. All the meat is from the farm and most of the vegetables.
The cost will be £16.50, but we take our own drinks and I will have real ale laid on.
Our bikes can be stored safely in the barn so the campers do not have to ride to the start each day.
More details to follow when I send the details out at the end of June.

Friday
Will be a visit to the Stone Age burial site of 'Arbor Low' with a café stop on the 'Tissington Trail' and a pub stop at Monyash.

Saturday
Will be to the lovely 'Dowle Dale'.
I am having problems finding a lunch stop at the moment so this my lead to a packed lunch and an 'On the spot TJ café' with lots of goodie’s.
This will all be sorted by the end of June.

Sunday
Will be down the lovely Manifold Valley, 20 miles of COMPLETE FLAT road (10 miles each way) for lunch at Waterhouses.
For those who can manage it return vie Ilam.

I just hope the weather is going to be kind for us to enjoy this great area.
I plan on going up on the Tuesday so that I can ride the dales of Monsal and Lathkill before the weekend starts.
If any one would like to join me that would be great.

We look forward to being with you all again for yet another great weekend

Trevor & Jeremy
