I began road riding recently and have cycled on roads that I know but have never ventured out of my comfort zone though I am keen to explore some more routes departing from Chesterfield and reeturning back to Chesterfield around the peak. Has anybody experienced any good rides and routes that they would advise taking? Thankyou |

Pick up th A6, stop off at Rowsley theirs a great cafe there thats popular with cyclists. Into Matlock then out on the A632. Theirs a killer climb out of Matlock. Good Luck Beermonster |
