I have a job locally just south of Ashbourne on Monday morning.

I can maybe squeeze in 2, or at the most, 3hrs if you can recommend a local ride.

After that it's back to London, so not looking for a ride too far from Ashbourne TBH.

I'm open to suggestions ....

Ther's a dissused railway line [Tissington Trail] , dont want to overtax you

Sounds a little too linear.

Is there a circuit I can fashion I wonder?

Tim (waiting to be taxed)

I believe it connects with the high peak trail, but with the weather I'd stick to the Tissington Its a while since I was down there [15 Years] but I sem to remember it climbs a bit.

Are you trying to bore him to death with the Tissington Trail??  OK it climbs a teensy bit but it was a railway so it's not exactly taxing. 

Sorry, but I actually don't have any suggestions for routes though.

The challenge for Tim would be to do it out and back in 90 minutes. mere average of 18MPH

This has quite a few routes near Ashbourne, and this has erm... all of them.

Give the Tissington Trail a try

Second Derek's suggestion of the V-Graphics gudiebook - the Tissington Trail is dullsville btw, even for southerners

Have a look at the Manifold Valley or South Buxton routes from the book, both a stone's throw from Ashbourne. Buy it as an inspiration investment and come back for more later in the year.

i can thoroughly unrecommend the south buxton circuit if that helps unless you enjoy alot of road

I'll bring my Peaks guide book to the Gorrick on Sunday - there should be something in there? - will look later anyway.
