Although 60km isn’t far for many regular cyclists, we have chosen a hilly route including Hedley on the Hill (affectionately known as MH11 to those who race, this was the scene of the 2017 British National Hill Climb Championships), Kiln Pit Hill and Slaley. Three challenging climbs with beautiful scenery (including spectacular views of Derwent Reservoir and Slaley Forest) on relatively quiet roads. There is a feed station at Kiln Pit Hill, about 26km into the ride.
