PEAK ROUGH STUFF 4 - Sunday 14th July, 2024

THE rolling landscape of the White Peak is criss-crossed by ancient trackways and punctuated by stunning limestone dales. Ride our Peak Rough Stuff Ride and you'll explore the best of it, starting from Summat Cafe & Gym in Bakewell, that will provide a stern challenge but not an ordeal.

This is an unsigned, self-sufficient ride - suitable for gravel, mountain or cyclocross bikes - and will take you over little-known tracks, trails and lanes, away from the weekend crowds. You'll get a GPX file emailed to you a few days before the event (check your spam!).

NB. The routes will not be signposted; you will be following a GPS file or copy the route onto a paper map.

With the kind support of: Summat Sports, Ride.Run, Cyclocrossrider.com, Yomp Bonk Crew & British Cycling. 

Grassroots ride - open to all - you don't have to be a member of British Cycling. 16 and 17 year olds must have a BC Parental Consent Form signed by a parent/guardian and handed in at sign on (download here).
