Got this journey to make, got a whole day to make it so hoping to ride somewhere en-route.
options; big ride round Peaslake before i set off, or call at Tidworth Freeride, Flyup415, FOD, Cannock, Peaks, Macc Forest, Farmer Johns.... any more?
leaning mostly towards Flyup....
I would go to Cannock ,coz',
A) it's not too far off course.
B) you could ride Peaslake any day of the week.
C) Navigation not required.
flyup would be a bit of a detour no?
Cannock would be good but unless you're going off piste or doubling up you'd be pressed to get more than 2/3 hours out of it.
If I had a whole day my choice would be the dark or white peak, nothing beats superb natural riding through forests and over great big rocky hills.
3 valid points, especially C! but cannock is the least tempting if im honest...
flyup not really a detour, go that way sometimes (M4, A419, M5) when there are hold ups on the other routes, s'alright.
have you a decent strava loop of dark peak i could nick?
take your pick from here but there are tons online and if you put up another thread asking for aq dark peak gpx with a specific title you will likely get lots of replies.

would recommend the ladybower loop.
yeah ive done variations of that ladybower loop before, might be a bit gruelling after a 4hr drive tho... solo too, bit dodgy. maybe i drive the night before...!
