City-centre cafes and canal networks, touring pals new and old, converted rail trails, National Trust estate roads, forestry tracks, Peak climbs, Goyt Valley puddings and pour-over coffees, moor-top lanes, traditional inns and local cycling cafes, pasta parties, fireside natter, ancient gravel causeways and Dark Peak’s gritstone edges – we designed this two-day gravel cycling route to include a bit of everything. A mixed-terrain route, with a homage to traditional road touring – the perfect Pannier.cc bikepacking blend. Accessible, yes. Challenging, yes. Fun, yes. We think so, anyway…
