Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
2 hours 30 mins  (1 hours 30 mins cycling)

Breeze Bike Rides in High Peak

The ride starts at Hurdlow in a large carpark (you need change to pay) and follows the Tissington Trail past Parsley Hay Bike Hire and cafe where you can hire a bike if you need to, we will be there at 10.30 if you want to join us.


The route splits and goes down the High Peak Trail before leaving the flat disused railway and taking an uphill rocky track (walking is allowed!) and then a short section of quiet road before rejoining the Tissington Trail and a stop at Parsley Hay for tea and cake before going back to the start.


The ride is flat and traffic free for most of the way. There is a section of uphill uneven ground so bikes with wide tyres are best, the trails can get muddy when wet. Make sure your bike is roadworthy. Helmets are recommended but not compulsory. Bring change for the carparking and cafe stop.


Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.

Meet the Champions

  • Gill Kent Hi, this is my third year of Sky Rides and I'm enjoying it lots. I've been riding for many years, initially mountain biking but in recent years I've got involved with road riding and have participated in several cyclosportives, including the 117 mile London-Canterbury Etape 2007, which I was very pleased to finish! I think cycling is the perfect family activity and have had some wonderful biking adventures with my three children not only in Britain but also Europe and Canada. I currently work with a cycle charity to establish cycle trails in the Peak District where I live. I recently completed an off-road coast to coast ride across Scotland, it was the most fantastic challenge and a personal achievement. I look forward to meeting you on the Sky Rides and maybe discussing your future adventures!
