A ride out through the Peak District to one of my favourite cafes – the Old Smithy at Monyash which always has a welcome for cyclists.
Old Smithy at Monyash
This ride takes in the Brickworks climb out of Pott Shrigley, a real challenging struggle out of Combs, followed by Kirk Dale out of Ashford in the Water to our favourite cafe in Monyash. Return through Buxton, over Oldgate Nick to another cafe at Rainow, before we get back to Marple.
Not all controls have 24/7 options so you should choose your start time accordingly. You could also record your progress as a GPX file and submit that for validation.
