Event Summary

Event Overview

**31/5/18 - EVENT FULL/NO ENTRIES ON THE DAY AVAILABLE**

The 6th edition of the toughest ever Peak District sportive. The inaugural PEAK EPIC in 2013 set a new benchmark for a hard Peak District sportive and subsequent years have confirmed it as one of the UK’s toughest Grand Fondo’s definitely comparable to the Fred Whitton and Dragon Ride. Be under no illusions, the long ride is tough!

For all event details and previous years times/photos etc see http://darkwhitecycling.co.uk/sportives/peak-epic/

To see the 2018 fully comprehensive road book to tell you everything you need to know about the event including in depth climb information see https://darkwhitecycling.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2018_PE_RB_Provisional.pdf 

The truly epic long route ascends 4000m (>13000ft) in just 165km (103 miles) across the full breadth of Peak District taking in the Hope Valley, Edale, Chapel-en-le-Frith, the Goyt Valley/Cat & Fiddle, Macclesfield Forest, Axe Edge, Longnor and finally Lathkill Dale. In addition to the long route there is the medium 100km route – for full route details please click here

This ride will wherever possible keep you away from traffic filled busy roads and take you onto roads you probably never knew existed!

A Dark & White Cycling Sportive.
