The 100 Mile route was designed with two hours of rolling roads to get those legs warmed up, a quick break at the feed stop and then its on to 40 miles of relentless climbing, if you arent going up, you are going down. The final section is a roll off the Wolds and back down deep into the Trent Valley, finished with a final climb up to HQ.

Short but tough
Tackle the famous hill climbs in the Matlock/Derwent Valley area.

Matlock and the surrounding area is steeped with road biking hill climb history: Bank Road, Riber Road and Rowsley Bar to name just three of the well known infamous ascents. The Matlock Top 10 celebrates the richness of the areas steep, 20% plus gradient hill climbs by creating a route that ascends 10 of them in just 61.5 km/38.2 miles. Thats 1736 m of ascent or 5696 ft in old money.

For those looking for a slightly less extreme challenge then the Matlock Top 4 is for you 32.7 km/20.3 miles based around the same route as the Top 10 but climbing just 4 of the 10 climbs.
