Got a week booked in a cottage near Bakewell in February. Will be taking the bikes but have never ridden in the area, has anyone got any suggestions for not-too-extreme routes please? GPS/Tracklogs stuff would be great, or web links to anything appropriate? TIA all.
i will show you around if you want - 10 mins ride from bakewell
that's jolly decent of you 🙂
[s]if you drop me an email at stw_spam(AT)thosebears.com i can give you some idea of when we'd be about...[/s] appreciate the offer!
just found your email address in your profile - i'll email you!
cool
From what I remember from my only ride round there is that Manor Woods was really good - different to the usual tree free peak district riding. Isn't that right RR?!
its ok as a downhill aye
either of these two are pretty good
Bakewell Circuit
This route has been designed to be as close to the perfect mini enduro lap as we could make it. Ideal for the newcomer who wants to know what all the fuss is about or for the seasoned pro wanting an excellent spin out.
Route Grade: hard. Distance: 17km
Calver Circuit
Starting off with a wonderful fast chug over crag and moor the route heads to Baslow Edge, superb singletrack then road to Calver. More climbing, traversing on a great mix of terrain and a good warm down back to the finish.
Route Grade: medium. Distance: 20km
Did you take them from the white peak VB graphics book?

Any good? Worth a purchase?
yes and yes
