The Strines, Langsett Reservoir & Mam Tor Nick loop from Hope offers a difficult road cycling challenge through the Peak District. This route spans 58.6 miles (94.4 km) with a significant 5734 feet (1748 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 5 hours and 4 minutes to complete. You'll experience "rollercoaster kilometres" with sharp ascents and descents, particularly on the infamous Strines Road where gradients can hit 15%. As you cycle past Langsett Reservoir, you'll see picturesque heather moorland and woodlands, then climb towards Mam Tor Nick for glorious views across the valleys.
