Descent from Riber Castle to Cromford Meadows

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Super fun, fast and flowy descent out onto the fields. Mega views down into Cromford Meadows. The track is wide, some embedded rock. Watch out for the sheep!

Wheatcroft's Wharf Café

Highlight • Cafe

Nice cafe in Cromford. Where the canal starts so a good place to start or end a ride or link it in with the other hills around. They don't mind …

The Birches Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Classic factory blast route that takes you from Holly lane down to the woods where there are an abundance of downhill trails.

Descent Into Holloway

Highlight • Trail

Cheeky descent down in to Holloway, an alternative from Long Lane climb. Fairly steep with some loose road and roots. A number of step-downs, spicy when wet. Watch out for walkers!
