BIG DAY OUT GRAVEL BIKING
Bespoke bookings only
A big gravel bike, one day adventure, guiding you along some of the best gravel trails in The Peak District. Ride between 100km and 120km with plenty of metres climbed
What you get
This epic, challenging 1-day ride is ideal for adventurous, fit and intermediate + cyclists who regularly ride their bikes or ride for several hours at a time. This ride will cover a long distance and, as the Peak District is the “home of the hill climb”, will contain a lot of climbing and descending. Expect long climbs, short steep climbs, some of which will be off road, and steep twisty, sometimes rough and loose technical descents.
The Peak District includes lots of varied gravel bike terrain, including rough bridleways, cobbles, forest tracks, white roads and the world famous disused railways of Monsal, Tissington and High Peak trails. We stitch together some of the very best bits to give you a day packed with highlights.
