  • Meant to post this in here but forgot. Thanks very much for all the route advice everyone, it was a brilliant couple of days.

    Went for a challenging but beautiful couple of days in the Peak District. Train out to Sheffield, cycle up some bastard hills, stay in a remote youth hostel and eat enormous meals for dinner and breakfast, then another day of slightly less bastard hills. Wonderful way to spend a weekend, and I managed to make it up Winnats Pass and Snake Pass without giving up at any point. Although I probably recorded the slowest ever ascent times on both of these. Great stuff, and nice gently achey legs this morning.

    For people who are interested in routes etc.

    Day 1: Sheffield to YHA Gradbach, via Hope Valley / Winnats Pass
