Fitness-Train - Hope, Eyam and Curbar Edge

This ride takes us from the car park outside PureGym at Archer Road in Millhouses up Whirlowdale Road and onwards to Ringinlow. From there we'll carry on past Stannage Edge and down to the outskirts of Hathersage. We then continue towards Hope, turning left through Bradwell before we get there and then onwards through pretty lanes to Eyam, where we'll stop for coffee and cake (or savoury foodstuffs if you're so inclined). We then head for the challenging climb up to Curbar Edge before swinging back round through the lanes back to the start point. Although this route has some challenging climbs, we'll take our time and stop for breathers if needed. No-one ever gets left behind!

A beautiful scenic ride into the Peaks with some great views. A few challenging hill climbs too!

Generally quiet roads, with a few busy sections. Road bike recommended.

There will be a cafe stop in Eyam. We will regroup at the top of hills (so no-one will get left behind) and for photo opportunities.

Helmets are recommended. Please bring money and a face mask for the café stop.

We never leave anyone behind
