Hello from Derbyshire. New Levo owner.

[ilsonmd12]

Had my Specialized turbo Levo 2020 fsr for a few weeks now, just returning to mtb, got a bit of a dickie knee so the ebike is great for me. Live in ilkeston Derbyshire so near to Peak District and looking to get out there soon.

Loads round Castleton.

Mam Tor/Hollins Cross
Jacobs Ladder
Derwent Valley/Cut Gate (can be a bit soggy)
Ladybower...

There is a bike park too at Lady Cannings Plantation. The local bike shop/hire centre is just out side Castleton too and they have route guides.
Route 5 - Stanage & Lady Cannings - Bike Garage

Best to look on Komoot or Trailforks...will find loads there.

Great, thanks ??

"CutGate can be a bit soggy"......bit of an understatement! Its a challenging climb in places...very rocky. However you have the satisfaction of riding all the way to the top whilst mtbers are mostly pushing and the views are stunning.

Cut Gate is made for E-Mtbs or E-Mtbs are made for Cut Gate. Either way it's great fun.
On a pedal bike it's just pain and suffering.

Are you guys still riding? I’m in New Mills feeling very sad with no Emtb mates to ride with ?

Not at the moment, but that's because I broke my leg/ankle. Hope to get out soon. Probably only the Sett Valley trail...lol...?

Sorry to hear that!! Hope it’s better soon! SVTs all right, especially if it involves a brew at the cafe in birch vale ??

I have never ridden any trails in Derbyshire really so I’ll for any adventure when we can but nothing too difficult as I’m an oldie

I'm an oldie too, 63 3/4, so take it easy. Up over Lantern Pike and around Kinder is about my limit. I did Jacobs Ladder last year and walked 1/2 of it..;-) I've no idea how folks ride down it at speed, mad..!

Well I’m 64.10 and two heart attacks so I do take it easy!!

Good stuff, I had a very nice cake from there yesterday morning! I’m sure that would aid recovery for you ? I’m not far from thornsett.
