Three diverse distances, 47miles, 75 miles, 111 miles. Full support, incredible routes, some offering the biggest challenges the Peak can offer from Beeston. Enjoy the finest cycling in the Peak District.
The short route is centred around the Ambergate area and provides a taste of what the Peak has to offer. The mid and long distance routes share the shorter route before exploring more of the Peak's diversity.
All routes are hilly, though not gratuitously so, in keeping with the areas topography.
There are flat moorland sections, steep/short and longer/gentler climbs, and of course fabulous descents. All crafted from an intimate and obsessional knowledge of the Peak.

Still here, just showing a few signs of wear and tear. Hopefully still serviceable for some years to come.
How can you know that you are "equally fearful" as "any female cyclist"? There is no possible way of quantifying such emotions and female cyclists...
I think it would be fairer to blame the moon - as in "my client is a loony".
Nice idea but Gloucestershire Constabulary are not interested as exemplified by this prvious NMOTD. Not only was there NFA for the close pass in...
