Start of Loxley Road at the bus stop immediately after the pedestrian crossing/traffic lights.
Here is another chance to clock up some miles for the Rapha 500 challenge (or just to join us for a great ride and burn off some Christmas pudding if you're not doing the challenge). The ride takes us up Loxley Road and through High Bradfield before traversing Strines Moor and then dropping down to Ladybower. From there we skirt around Bamford and head towards Hope, turning left before we get there and passing through Bradwell. We'll then continue through Eyam and on to Calver before climbing up Froggatt. The route then takes us to Ringinglow and Lodge Moor before dropping down to Rivelin Valley and back to the start.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that you wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather.
As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
