Summertime in the Peak District 🌞
I have been fortunate to live in the Peak District for almost all of my life. Cycling in these hills since the introduction of the first modern mountain bikes. Experience an unforgettable adventure on the best trails with our hire fleet and local knowledge.
With a wide variety of routes to cater for all abilities, an extensive range of hire bikes and direct access to 170 miles worth of guided trails from the shop.
The newly reopened Alec and Thora trail is a revamp of the old Pillar of Salt track. Adding much more flow and more features to this classic trail in Deepcar, Wharncliffe woods. We have started to build quite the collection of videos from trails within Wharncliffe. You can see all the other ones here this is just a sample of the trails.
The video and those to come will be focusing on trails within the local riding scene. Expect a variety of locations and guest riders. Hopefully helping to expand your knowledge and showcase some of the best of the local Peak District and Sheffield riding scene.
This trail is located next to Rake and Bake which we previously did a video on. Starting again at the Deepcar end of the woods. All of the trails in the area of the woods are only short, but so is the climb back to the top.

Up next Peaty’s in Wharncliffe woods, one of the oldest trails in the woods. Rocky with a mixture of tight turns and rock gardens. Splitting off the original line onto a new link section onto the lower section of Truffle Shuffle.
We have featured a bunch of different trails in Wharncliffe there really is something for everyone.
60 Seconds of Muddy Wharncliffe Trails, post Christmas dinner we headed out into the woods on a very misty dank afternoon.
Wharncliffe has become a regular riding spot for us over the winter. We have quite a few videos from there online now. Its technical trails provide a great challenge during the winter months. Perfect for either a modern trail bike as fireroads for climbs or push up.
Trail forks have a good number of trails in the woods on it. But best with a local rider.
Wharncliffe Woods is often seen as a progressive riding location. But as many of the trails have been there 20+ years and the hillside is steep rocky and rooty. If you pick the right trail it’s a good option for the winter. So here are a couple of our favourite trails this time of year. And as they can be easily ridden on a modern trail bike and lapped it makes for a good place to ride for a couple of hours.
The first trail rode “Shuffle Truffle” I hadn’t ridden since it was first built in 2011. The second is one that I haven’t ridden before. The last two trails are both in the Wharncover area are a shorter area of the hillside.
We have previously featured a number of other trails in these woods see Dogs Bollocks and Trek Rail
This one is a new trail to me, located in Wharncliffe Woods. Which has been featured before in previous videos. See Dogs Bollox and Trek Rail.
A short singletrack descent which is relatively steep and requires good control. Perfect for linking into a much longer Wharncliffe trail ride. The woods are full of a variety of trails that can be easily looped using fireroads for climbs.
Expect a variety of locations and guest riders. Hopefully helping to expand your knowledge and showcasing some of the best of the local Peak District and Sheffield riding scene.
