Hilly (belated birthday) cake ride

This ride is aimed towards women who are confident riding on roads and who have a good degree of general fitness as we will be going up and down hills. It is suitable or road bikes or hybrid bikes fitted with road tyres. It's a monthly ride for ladies who want to climb hills but perhaps at an easier pace (i go up them very slowly) and who also enjoy good cake! We will head south from Hathersage and turn right at The Plough Inn to climb up to Abney and past the gliding club above Great Hucklow. Our route then goes through Great Hucklow and Windmill before going round the back of the quarry and down into Castleton. We shall have a cafe stop here (and eat cake to belatedly celebrate one of our rider's birthday) before returning to Hathersage via the flattish main road. The route has over 300m of height gain but we will take it nice and steady. Remember to dress appropriately for the weather and don't forget to bring a pump, spare inner tube, puncture repair kit, drink, snack and money for the cafe stop!
