アルドウォークのおすすめライド

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 fantastic choice of cheeses and they were very well stocked with a friendly atmosphere. Sadly short on Venezuelan beaver cheese, though most other tastes catered for.

Watch out for Sheep on the road!

Lovely afternoon sunshine at Carsington Water. The Waterside Cafe doing a great job with a good variety of snacks, including veggie and vegan options - and there was enough food left for a late lunch on a busy Sunday!
