March 8, 2022,Fuel stop for the views – Long singletrack descent Loop from Eyam

Absolutely loved this loop. The descents are ace. Definitely doing this one again

July 24, 2024,Mountain Bike Tour

Pre-riding a planned route for a regular client next week. Remembered most of it, but lots of overgrown trails so it’s either going to be a slight change of route, or wear pants and hope it’s not absolutely roasting like today! 😂
Gorgeous day for it and super quiet everywhere apart from the Monsal Trail (standard).

July 31, 2024,Mountain Bike Guided Ride

A beaut of a day to be out riding. Super hot. 👌🏻
Lovely guided ride showing Geoff some of the trails of the White Peak.
I’m now sporting some lovely sliced up arms and legs thanks to some slightly overgrown sections of trail! 🙄😂

July 25, 2025,Rowsley - Chatsworth - Eyam - White Peak Loops

Two classic loops in the White Peak. From Rowsley a long and steady gravel climb using the Monsal Trail to Hassop, gets you to the Stoney Middleton loop around the quarries. Then from Eyam the fun starts with the descents back to Stoney Middleton.

Little amble round with Chris.
Loved it. Cracking route and lovely area to ride. Some nasty little climbs but quite a few awesome fast descents. Will def be back to explore the area more.
Not sure what’s happened to my Garmin Edge. According to OS it should be at least double the 450m elevation gain that my Garmin is reporting. …
