Organised Peak District cycle events by date.
Please feel free to ask us for more information. For entering or getting a place on one of the events, please get in contact with the organiser. We’re here in the central Peak District (with fully equipped and lockable bike sheds) if you need accommodation!
Although some of these events have now passed, the links have been left in there and will be updated as soon as 2024 dates are announced.
1st April 2023 – Peak District Gravel X – Right in the heart of the glorious Peak District, this Gravel X takes in 59, 85 or 103km of the best gravel and back roads. Unlike most other rides in this region, the terrain is relatively flat or rolling.
2nd April 2023 – UK’s Hardest 100 – Peak District – Take on classic climbs and local gems of the Peak District including Mam Tor, Winnats and many, many more. Ride the 100 mile route with almost 3,500m of elevation or take or the 105km route with just under 2,500m of climbing. Starting and finishing in beautiful Buxton, this is your chance to see the best of the Peak District and ride one of the hardest sportives in the UK.
23 April 2023 – Sheffield-Buxton-Sheffield – 130km/2298m climb (80 miles/7562’) or
90km/1482m climb (55 miles/4862’). Ride the new High Peak homage to the oldest and hardest monument of them all, Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Dramatic, high peakland scenery, hidden lanes and memorable climbs, our climber’s classic is a tough day out in the same vein as the Ardennes monument it emulates.
