Download or read book Off-beat Cycling and Mountain Biking in the Peak National Park written by Clive Smith and published by Sigma Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide to journeys within the Peak District National Park contains a series of cycle routes which are suitable for the family as well as the serious rider. The routes vary between 10 and 30 miles, and several may be linked together for longer trips. Sketch maps are provided, but it is suggested that these be backed up with the Ordnance Survey 1:25000 map The White Peak and The Dark Peak. The use of tarmac surfaces has been minimized whenever possible. Descriptions of each journey are supplemented with background information on points of interest and pubs and inns to be encountered en route. Several of the trips have been chosen based on suitable car parks, while others allow transit from one railway station to another. A list of cycle hire centres is given at the back of the book.
