I’ve always enjoyed cycling in The Peak District but this ride hit different. Challenging with all the climbing on this 119 mile route. Taking on Winnats Pass, Mam Nick, Pindale, Larkstoke Lane. Part of my training towards my mega endurance challenge of 24 hours on Hardknott Pass.

Hi Andrew, I’m in the Peak District so if you want to meet up for a ride sometime give me a shout.
Great effort. Lots of Challenging hills.
On days like that, there aren’t many better places to ride a bike than the Peak District. Great ride, Andrew.
I live in Sheffield and avoid Winnats due to the amount of traffic, the climb from Edale up Mam Nic is much more pleasant, great ride.
That video is "road cyclist porn"!❤ Wow..
Not climbed Pindale for a couple of years but I remember the poor gravelly surface at the top for a couple of kms being almost as knackering as the climb itself!
Great ride!
You beast! Chapeau
Weight training is totally unnecessary for cycling.
I live in Hednesford which is quite near Marchington cliff and Style cop and they are not gentle climbs at all.
There is a tougher climb near Marchington cliff called Buttermilk Hill not very long about 800 meters but its very steep 25 percent max gradient.
Fantastic scenery, hats off to you . Good luck with the challenge.
What a ride!
What gearing are you using?
