Organiser's Description
This classic sportive, named after and on the same route as the original Tour of the Peak road race, which ran from 1943 through to 2005, is steeped in cycling history; you will follow in the wheel tracks of some of the top original British bike racers who have graced these roads. The long route is probably one of the toughest challenges that can be done at 115 miles and over 10,000ft of climbing, it certainly isn’t to be underestimated! A little more tame but still with the Killer Mile of Winnats Pass, the medium route is 62 miles and manages to squeeze in over 5000ft of climbing - a great starting point if you're looking for a challenge and the long route is just too much! Bakewell Showground gives you beautiful surroundings to start and finish your day.
