As you go down baslow, you get to a roadabout and the left turn to chesterfield is chatsworth road. The TT course will probably be similar to / the same as last year and might be a 2up TT. I am meeting Dave on wednesday evening to sort out the final details. Does anyone have any input before wednesday?

is that nearly a 4 mile climb!?! f**k that lol, definitely up for riding it this week though
an ITT might be better as we suffered from lack of riders last year doing the TTT, just a though.

I would prefer an ITT but I had enough of a job persuading dave to do a 2up TT instead of a TTT but I'll see what I can do. Any thoughts about going down monsal and up cressbrook instead of going along the top?

I won't be out on Wednesday, I have a job interview and I'm entertaining a German.
Is the hill climb from the roundabout in Baslow to Owler Bar?
Regarding the TT, I don't particularly like the main road stretch at the top, so I would prefer the alternative to go down Monsal and up Cressbrook.

Is the hill climb from the roundabout in Baslow to Owler Bar? Is it? I hope not! That's: a) 5.1 miles and b) a busy A road.

Have offered my thoughts about a 2-up to a few people including Starkey, to put it succinctly...I don't like it at all. The organisational issues with trying to pair up teams of 2 in a team of such varying abilities, let alone the problems caused if an odd number of people turn up is crazy in my opinion. Add this to the fact that we are doing a very hilly time trial by the looks of it which will further accentuate the difference in people's abilities....basically I think it's a bad idea and I think we should all bombard Starkey with emails until he changes it In terms of going down Monsal and up Cressbrook...are we doing a TT or are we doing a 2nd session of hill climbs...just something to think about? Mind you if it's planned for beating Hallam Scum then the hillier the better! Just my tuppence worth, but if things stay as they are I will definitely come and do the hill climb but as for the 2-up, I'm very sceptical.

It is quite a busy road I'm I still in the process or sorting it out.
It is hilly course but we're all used to doing very hilly rides and Creesbrook isn't especially steep. The top road is almost as steep, exposed and you don't get a short recovery you do going into the valley. An ITT would be best. Listen, I'm meeting stakey at 5.30 @ The Forum on wednesday to sort this out. If people want to come down then you're are more than welcome.
