Thank you once again to the LCGB Committee for another excellent members rally. The Derbyshire 150 was an excellent jaunt around the Pennines which was only spoiled by the weather particularly as we went over the Snake Pass. The campsite and catering was very good and the atmosphere amongst the members taking part was excellent. Roll on another such event.

Absolutely agree, this is a tough event not for the faint hearted, but well worth doing-spot on, great value as well.

David I didn't get to speak to you afterwards, did you bypass that single carriageway section or attempt it with the sidecar?

Hi Steve, we decided not to try it, the fact it was peeing down I think swayed it Thanks for the alternate route.

I missed the last Derby 150 but glad I could make this one. Cracking rally despite the wet weather...some challenging riding in that weather, especially Snake's Pass. Well done to the organisers, they did a great job

As above, brilliant event which lived up to the hi standard set at the 1st one. Thanks to all those responsible for organising and running it Oh and thanks to Toot for the club shop.

What a fantastic event the Derby 150 is. Thoroughly enjoyed riding my Cometa around the route. The weather did nothing to dampen the event at all. Thank you to all the organisers for all your hard work and effort put into making a perfect weekend. Campsite, food, venue etc spot on. Marks out of 10. i'll give it 11.

Thank you Waddo.

Due to ill health I missed this yesterday .....as I only live in Nottingham looking to do the route in next few weeks.Anyone able to e-mail me a copy of the route please...

As above - thanks to all & a cracking weekend!

Yes, thanks to all who made this event possible. Top event.

Shipston and Derbys 150 in the same season! We have been spoilt in 2017.

yep, great weekend, a little damp a times, but all good stuff.
ably led by Linda we did ride the entire course
obviously we won't mention a missed turn within the first two miles [when Linda wasn't leading]...

He he he... Massive thanx to Ste, Mandy, Toot & everyone who was there behind the scenes to make it possible. Also, as Jarv said a big shout out to Linda for above & beyond navigational skills those single track roads were hugely grin inducing! & a general 'Hello' to everyone met along the way, the vibe as always was great Pictures to follow once someone sorts out my new lap top/techno twattery...

Or 3 of us misinterpreting her rotating hand signal as keep on going rather than turn around lol. Still it gave me a chance to bond with Robbie and Andy BLC for an hour or so and get some nice photos

Cracking rally and thanks to the LCGB and those that put the time in to put together. Specila thanks to our Guide Linda and to Jordan for sharing his nuts.

Great event, echo all the comments above. Thanks to Steve and the rest of the organisation team for another belting event.

Totally agree ,a great event well organised already looking forward to next years can you please tell the rain to have a day off though.

Although a blown piston ended my ride early I still had a great weekend. I'd like to thank those who stopped to offer assistance (Steve G and Toot) and to Paul Price picking me up in the back-up van. I completed the route with Paul in the van and I must say it looked a cracking ride. Hopefully I'll get to do it next year. Big thanks for everyone's hard work organising the event!

Steve G,

Did I spot an LCGB official photographer at the side of the road, whilst ascending the Via Gellia?

We saw him twice, on both the outward and homeward legs...can't remember the exact locations though
