Starting point




South Yorkshire
S11 7TY

After an early start (8:30am) from Fox House, this ride takes us down a long descent through Nether Padley to Calver before tackling the climb up Beely Moor and descending down to Holymoorside. We then climb again and continue towards Eastmoor and another descent followed by a climb up on to the moors and across to Curbar Edge. There is then another descent before we finish with a steady climb up Froggat back to Fox House. Its a great ride with some wonderful views, a few challenging undulations and approximately 4000 ft of climbing in total. Don't forget to bring food and drink to fuel the ride as there are no opportunities for café stops along the way and nowhere to get refreshments until we get back to Fox House.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that all participants wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather. As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). It is also a good idea to carry a spare chain link that matches your bike’s chain (e.g. 9, 10 or 11 speed). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
