• Well it would make my mother happy if I got up to Derbyshire more often! I might need to come out geared - if only to get up the hill out of the village (though I'm currently running 42x17 fixed, so I really ought to be able to give it a go)... but will do my best to come on at least one.

    To be honest I'd say geared is the best bet to truly enjoy the area. I can't remember there being a flat bit in the whole county! And Andrew is a great ride 'leader', with plenty of stops and a really friendly pace that never rips the legs off. If I can haul my outsized frame around these routes then anyone can!
