カージントンのおすすめライド

It's smooth gravel - road bikes are fine, but there is a roady way around too if you prefer. It's just a busy road so I was very happy to avoid it🥲

Better to stay at the visitor’s centre.

Very scenic and a good gravel ride 8 miles round trip.

I always seem to hit this climb when I've already got plenty of miles in my legs! So it's always a challenge but a measured pace is key. Road surface is good and there's enough room for cars to get past you and not be breathing down your neck. 😉

A decent longish climb up through Brassington to Longcliffe. Pretty steep through the village then keeps on giving as you leave!

Although Back lane looks very ‘agricultural’ from this end, it’s perfectly doable on a fancy road bike. The surface is really rough for a couple of hundred metres & then less pitted & holes. My road bike is a prissy pony with 25mm tyres & barely any clearance between callipers & front tyre & she managed it fine. It allows you to get off the busy main road sooner than riding down towards Biggin & turning left there 😁

Went for a Bakewell tart but also tried the Bakewell pudding, it was amazing. It's a great shop.

A long climb with some steeper sections. It's a busy road so go early or out of rush hour, especially if you want to avoid the quarry lorries
