Peak Cycle Loop

 June 23rd/24th, 2012

An invitation by Sustrans founder John Grimshaw CBE of Peak Cycle Links to join a two day Family Fun ride in the Derbyshire Peak District, following the successful inaugural ride in August 2011.

The route runs Buxton to Matlock via the newly opened Monsal Trail and back again to Buxton via the High Peak Trail and proposed linking paths to Buxton.  Nearly 60 miles in all with overnight camping provided at Cromford.  The route is easily cycleable with nearly 30 miles of open railway trail including the new Monsal Trail opened in 2011 with 6 tunnels through the spectacular Wye Gorges. Most of the rest of the way follows very lightly trafficked roads although there will be about three miles along level sections of the A6 where there is currently no alternative route, between Matlock and Cromford.

This ride is suitable for families, confident cyclists and novices of almost any age.  It will be guided throughout by local cyclists and members of Peak Cycle Links, 

There will be full backup from David Gray and Chain Events  with luggage and tents transported and  campsite and breakfast supplied. He will even provide some deserving cases with a lift up the only two hills on the route at the Middleton Top inclines after Cromford and the long hill up from Earl Sterndale to Staker Hill above Buxton.

Do come to join in this  ride along wonderful new sections and links of the National Cycle Network.

Price £40 per person, family rate negotiable.
