The National Trust Hidden Peak Sportive 2013
Starting and finishing from the impressive Lady Manners School on the outskirts of the beautiful Peak District market town of Bakewell, the 3rd National Trust “Hidden Peak” sportive offers three routes: a 40k, 80k and 130k option.

A 25 mile circuit in stunning White Peak, limestone country, ideally suited to those who might be doing their first sportive; a 50 mile medium route showcasing some of the best of the Central Peak District and last but not least a hard 80 mile ride for the more experienced sportive rider, through the very best of the Dark and White Peak District.
Route options: 25, 50 or 82 miles
