The girls do hills and eat cake

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. We will meet at Curbar School where there is plenty of free car parking then head along the main road towards Baslow. The first hill takes us out the back of Baslow to Hassop then we head to Bakewell. Climbing out of Bakewell on the Monyash Road, we head to Youlgreave, descending steeply across Lathkill Dale (you need good brakes for this or else a strong nerve)! From here, we wiggle our way round to the B5056 and follow this south to Winster then descend into Darley Dale. We then take the A6 for a short section to Rowsley, returning back through Chatsworth Park. 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!
