A route and a half from the guidebook “White Peak Mountain Biking”. Starting from the western end at Chee Dale for a clockwise loop that included part of the Monsal Trail passing through three tunnels. Breaking away from the eastern end to ride the lower half of the Great Longstone circuit then rejoining the southern section of the first trail. Great scenery, some delightful trails and a couple of steep climbs out of the valleys.
