Description

210km cycling event starting from Dore Old School Hall, Sheffield. Controls at Crich, Kegworth, Hickling, Coop Store, Stanton Hill, Inkersall Green and Dore Old School Hall., plus 3 information controls.

An East Midlands loop taking in some of the hills and vales of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, mainly following lanes and quiet country roads, but with some short stretches of main road and a couple of gravel tracks.

Route heads out across Beeley Moor and along the ridge road towards Crich, south-east to Long Eaton and over the River Trent, then through the Vale of Belvoir for a view of the Duke of Rutland's imposing castle.
