| 1. Very lengthy route through Allestree, Duffield, Wirksworth, around Carsington with an equally scenic return journey through the countryside (mainly on road) through, Ambergate, Belper, Duffield, Allestree before finally finishing by going through Darley Park. There are a lot of hills in in various places, some of which are quite steep. This route is a mix of road and track/cycle path riding, best suited towards Mountain Bikes or Hybrids | |
