26th august peak district protest

[back off road]

Sunday 26th August ( Bank Holiday) is now only a few days away and I am beginning the detailed planning for our Back to Tarmac protest in the Peaks. This demo is to show the Anti’s that if we accede to their wishes and stick to Tarmac life could be more miserable for them than it is now with us on the lanes.

It would be nice if groups sort of stayed together as a group so I suggest you meet together for about 9/9.30. From there we break up into smaller groups and cruise the tarmac lanes in the vicinity of Chapel Gate, Long Causeway and the Royche. We can all meet together at the pole on Stannage Edge, have lunch, a short rally and then a mass decent down Stannage Edge. In the afternoon we can do a few lanes before coming back home.

It would be handy if group leaders could let me know you are coming and and approximate numbers. If you are not with a group let me know and i will try to make up some rider groups. I will need some volunteers for run leaders for those groups Please let me know who you are and where you want to meet. Leaflets are available so again let me know and i will get some to you.

This is not restricted to Trail Bikes........provided road legal any bike, trike, quad, 4 x4, classic car, fire engine any thing.
Just put a poster on it Saying ( Pick one or all as appropriate)

GREEN LANES FOR EVERYBODY..............TRAILRIDERS HAVE RIGHTS TOO............MANAGEMENT OF THE LANES NOT PROHIBITION.

Fox House Carpark, Hathersage at about 9/9.30......see you there, and Thank you for your support.
