Building on the experience of previous years and the highly successful event of 2012 this event will in 2013 have the added benefit of electronic chip timings.
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.
Event start at 8am (long and medium route) and 9.30 (shorter route)
