Due to other commitments only myself and Bob could get out today and even then I had to be home early, so we we decided upon a little run into the Peak District for breakfast.
We took our usual route through Lichfield and down the A515 until we stopped for petrol at just before Sudbury when I bumped into Boycie and Big Dave from t595.net who were also heading out for a little ride of their own. After getting some advice from Boycie about some of the local roads we jumped back on the bikes and headed back up the A515 into Ashbourne
After make our way through the traffic in Ashbourne we stayed on the A515 which is a great, if busy and heavily policed road until we turned left onto the B5054 and headed into Hartington. Like most of the B roads within the Peak District this a lovely road with some great views but due to a lack of time we stopped in Hartington upon the recommendation of a mate of mine at the local tea room where we had our usual breakfast before heading back out onto the roads and headed home.

Hartington is a lovely little place. I can also recommend the pub in the little village of Biggin just down the road. They even have a campsite at the back of it should you ever fancy an overnight stop.
If you head south west along the B5054 out of Hartington you'll end up on the B5053. That's a really nice road to ride.
