Guide to cycling in and around the Peak District National Park, on road or trail bike. 20 day routes and one multi-day cycle tour of the Peak District.

A guidebook to 20 graded day rides and a challenging 250km (155 mile) five-day cycle tour throughout the Peak District. The circular day routes are centred around Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and more whilst the tour circumnavigates the National Park.

Notes on bike setup and cycling techniques

Having unintentionally cycled 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load, Chiz Dakin decided that she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land's End to John o' Groats route. Since then she's done several other multi-day trips, including a pioneering Welsh Coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent), but still maintains that you don't need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi-day routes. A member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild and the National Academy of Sports and Outdoor Photographers, she has won an award for her photography.
