I did [url= https://www.strava.com/activities/954538786 ]this[/url] at the weekend, nice ride though not loads of tech, like the rest of the White Peak.

Let me know if a .gpx is any good?

Wirksworth is not too far away, so Black Rocks, Ryber Castle, Chrich Woods and Ambergate are all doable linking them all together via the canal. Though not obvious trails.

There is a lot around Carsington too I believe but never ridden them, but might be worth a google.
