🏔️ The Season Finale: Club Peak District Classic

Chesterfield | 1 or 2 Nights | The Ultimate Peaks Pilgrimage

This is it—the big one. Before the mudguards come on and the winter miles begin, join Club NCTC for the final blast of the season. We’re heading to the heart of the Peak District for a weekend of legendary tarmac, lung-busting gradients, and proper club camaraderie.

Based in Chesterfield, we will ride from there and Bakewell so we have the perfect launchpad to strike deep into the National Park. This isn't just a bike ride; it’s a proper club trip and a weekend away that you won’t want to miss.

🚵 The "Bucket List" Climbs

We aren’t holding back. We’ve curated a route that takes in the most iconic climbs in the UK. If you like your gradients in double digits, this is your playground:

• Winnats Pass: The limestone giant. A dramatic, soaring canyon with a sting in the tail that hits 20%.

• Riber Road: Short, sharp, and brutal. A Matlock classic that will test every watt in your legs.

• Curbar Gap: A steady, relentless grind with some of the best panoramic views in the Dark Peak.

• Sir William Hill: The high point. A wild, exposed climb out of Grindleford that feels like the roof of the world.

• Plus plenty more "surprises" along the way...

🏨 The Weekend Vibe

• Basecamp: Chesterfield. Easy to get to, great for post-ride recovery, and ideally situated for the best loops.

• The Format: Choose a 1-night or 2-night stay.

• The Ride: A "proper" club run. Expect regrouping at the tops, steady tempos on the flats, and the inevitable "friendly" sprint for the village signs.

• The Social: Post-ride beers, a big club dinner, and enough "climb chat" to last you through the winter.

⚠️ Don't Miss Out!

This is the Last Blast of the Season. The form is peaked, the days are still (mostly) bright, and the Peaks are calling.

"It’s not just a ride; it’s a Club tradition."
