team road.cc Sheffield rideout report

road.cc headed north to Sheffield for the latest team road.cc rideout, and what a ride it was. The crew from the city’s Decathlon store laid on some superb hospitality and a truly stunning route out into the Peak District.

The clocks went back and it was a cold start, but not for long, not once we’d meandered our way out of the city and straight into the first climb of the day, all seven miles of it!

Once in the Peaks, the autumn leaves created some stunning scenes as we climbed and descended, through picture postcard villages – thankfully going down Winnats Pass rather than up it.

The final climb of the day, Stanage, took the best part of 40 minutes, but led to to an eight-mile descent into the city, where we headed back to Decathlon’s in-house cafe for a bit of a refuel and the now legendary road.cc Schwag Grab™.

The Decathlon crew laid on a great route – thanks Mick! – and top notch ride leading and pace-setting skills from Jamie. And a special shout out goes to Pete for his life-saving homemade flapjack – these southern softy legs were starting to take a hammering from all those climbs!
