I have planned a 32 mile route starting from Cromford Wharf, south of Matlock. The aim of the ride is to share time with fellow subscribers, have fun and gain an insight into the local area.
There are two carparks at Cromford Wharf, both are parallel to the canal. The one furthest from the canal, the second right hand turning, is cheaper and requires payment via cash. There are toilets on site and a really nice cafe, across the water, which may be nice to visit after the ride.
The start of the ride goes up a rather steep incline, which does flatten out in a couple of places before reaching Middleton Top - 3 miles later. If this seems a bit daunting, you could join the group, in the Middleton Top carpark (come prepared for cash and card payment up here).
Start times - 10 a.m Cromford Wharf and 10.30 from Middleton Top.
I'm really looking forward to meeting you all.
