Another nice ride, this time into the White Peak to explore some bits that are new to me. Owler Bar, Baslow, Gt Longstone, Monsall Head, Cressbrook, Litton, Gt Hucklow, Eyam, Grindleford, home. All very enjoyable with a few major climbs. Completely bonked on the drag back up to Fox House and barely made it over the crest to cruise back. First time I have bonked on a bike and first time I have felt properly knackered this year; it's a feeling I have missed!
Strike day ride to the demo via Stanage, Ladybower, Strines, Ewden, Bradfied, Dungworth. Very steep climb out of Ewden was hard work. Pretty tired by the climb up to Walkley and cruised home after a coffee and a bite to eat. This was my planned route and more - I'm a little surprised by how much ground you can cover on a road bike!
