Rides & Trails

Welcome to my collection of bike rides through the beautiful Peak District. These routes are hand-picked, pedalled, and personally enjoyed.

These is no adrenaline-packed madness here, rather rides that are for active explorers, fellow retirees, or anyone seeking the joy of two wheels and a slower pace.

Each ride is mapped on Komoot, so you can explore them for yourself . and maybe even join in sometime.
