These rides are a faster paced ride and for the more experienced rider. We meet at Malin Bridge at 6:00pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The route is out via Bradfield, up and over the Strines and once past Lady Bower Reservoir we start our chain gang in easily manageable groups.

The ride continues to Bamford and then up to Castleton via Hope. We turn at Castleton and head back to Hathersage. We re-group at Hathersage and then head back to Sheffield via the Surprise or Froggatt Edge. Mileage is around 40 miles at around 17-19mph average.

During the winter months, we still meet at the same time but ride as a group missing out the Castleton loop. Typically average speeds during the winter are around 15/16mph. During winter mudguards and flaps are encouraged. You will need good lights for these rides.

Please note, whilst we encourage others to join our rides, we do prefer if all riders are actual club members. We don’t allow non-members after they have ridden with us for a couple of weeks.
