Cycling in the Peak District Zusammenfassung

Cycling in the Peak District: 21 routes on lanes and tracks in and around the National Park Chiz Dakin

Cycling in the Peak District presents 20 graded day rides in the national park, along with a challenging five-day 250km (155-mile) 'Tour de Peak District'. The circular day rides are centred around Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and many other charming Derbyshire towns, while the more challenging Tour de Peak District circumnavigates the National Park. Routes include sections of the Tissington Trail, Monsal Trail and Transpennine Trail, with a focus on quiet lanes, gratifying downhills and not overly technical bridleways, tracks and trails.

The routes are ideal for gravel/adventure bikes (or hybrid/cross), though most can be easily adapted for road bikes. Each ride features step-by-step route description accompanied by 1:100,000 mapping. Overview stats and profiles are provided to aid route selection, along with details of refreshments, parking facilities and cycle hire, and full accommodation listings for the Tour de Peak District. The guide also includes tips for cycling the routes and advice for novices. The scenic Peak District boasts an abundance of country lanes, tracks, towpaths and railway trails that are perfect for two-wheeled exploration.

Über Chiz Dakin

Having unintentionally cycled 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load, Chiz Dakin decided that she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land's End to John o' Groats route. Since then she's done several other multi-day trips, including a pioneering Welsh Coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent), but still maintains that you don't need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi-day routes. A member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild and the National Academy of Sports and Outdoor Photographers, she has won an award for her photography.
