anyone near the Peak district might want to have a run over to this...

I'm pretty sure @badlywornroy posted up some shots from last year somewhere in the forum - not sure if it was on film or an electrical picture maker...
ETA: yep, Roy's thread was here
lots of people around in "period dress" - ie anything up to 1987, but mostly MUCH older school than that...
I was originally going to go for the ride on sunday, but couldn't get a completely rules-compliant bike together in time (i've been saying that for 3 years now, and still failed... it's PROBABLY because I'm rather picky what frame I want on the bike, and no 60cm SBDU Raleigh 531 team bike has come along at a price I can afford... I've got a bike that'll pass for the shorter rides - the 60miler looked do-able but it was a LOT of money for a days riding (about £90 on the day, including day pass to the festival and parking!) - couldn't get away for the 3-day festival, and I just couldn't quite face paying that to ride roads I can ride for free next week...)
so, this baby's probably not going to get her wheels on the gravel tomorrow... at least not with everyone else...
