I’m thinking cycling down to see the family at the weekend, wife is going in the car so it’s a good excuse for me to catch up on some mileage.
My main concern is that I’ve never really done this sort of thing before, i’m alright with the climbing and the mileage but I’ve never planned a route through the unknown.
As a starting point I used the Strava route planner that says it uses the heatmaps (that I like using for planning MTB routes) – this was the outcome… https://www.strava.com/routes/8149780
How does that look as a route? From some googling it seems like the A515 is a recipe for certain death. Is it that bad through the Peak? I’m happy enough on snake pass.
Any suggestions are more than welcome, I’ve never even driven on most of those roads.
