Poem on a plaque under a bridge over the Tissington trail. The surface is good enough for a road bike in most seasons as long as you're not too precious about it.
the road comes to a ford there is a bridge for cycles to the left which is lucky as I chickened out of this crossing. The path to the bridge is not ideal for road bikes but then neither is the road.
the path is a fairly decent surface i have even seen people use road bikes not that I would advise it.
Nice little hut to duck out of the wind a moment or maybe even sleep the night. Close to a snack bar that is open during spring to autumn, so you can grab a nice bacon roll in the morning plus toilet facilities with cold running water.
Top of the hill. take care descending the hill, other path users, it is a popular area, and you will pick up speed quite quickly.

We hired these Giant Twist electric assist bikes for the ride. As we whizzed passed other riders they unanimously called us 'cheats'.
