Wheel Do It! - Edale and Mam Nick (with Paul)

This ride takes us from Loxley Road via Low Bradfield and up the steady climb of Blindside Lane to Mortimer Road. From there we'll drop down the A57 to Ladybower, turn left and pass the Yorkshire Bridge. We then take a right onto a pretty winding lane that takes us through Thornhill before we turn right and head to Hope. At Hope we turn right and continue to Edale and then up the long, steep climb up Mam Nick where we will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful views to be found anywhere in the Peak District. We'll then drop down towards Sparrowpit, turning left onto a lovely quiet lane just before we get there. We then continue via more pretty lanes to Tideswell where we'll stop for coffee and cake before continuing via Eyam to the long steady climb up Nether Padley. We then carry on via Ringinglow to Lodge Moor before dropping down Lodge Lane and returning to Rivelin Valley and back to Loxley Road. Although this route has some very substantial undulations, we'll take our time and stop for breathers if needed. No-one ever gets left behind!
