Starting point




South Yorkshire
S8 0LB

This ride takes us from the car park outside PureGym at Archer Road in Millhouses up Whirlowdale Road and onwards to Ringinglow. From there we'll carry on past Stannage Edge and down to the outskirts of Hathersage. We then continue via a winding little lane that takes us up onto a high ridge with stunning views to both sides. We then drop down through Great Hucklow and continue to Tideswell where we'll stop for refreshments. We then continue through Litton and more pretty lanes with more stunning views before we drop down through Cresswell into the Monsal Dale and tackle the short steep climb of Monsal Head. We then continue through Hassop and up the steady climb of Nether Padley to Ringinglow and 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 Tideswell. 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
