THE UK’S HILLIEST LONG DISTANCE CYCLING EVENT

610km | 13,600m ascent

Pure Peak Grit‘ (PPG) is a road cycling route linking together every categorised climb in the Peak District National Park, and the ‘Greatest 100 Cycling Climbs’ around it.

The ride is 610km long with over 13,500m of ascent. It includes at least 42 fearsome hills with gradients of between 10-25%.

The inaugural PPG was undertaken by 10 women in 2019, with 4 successful completions; 2 of them within the 48 hour time challenge.

12th June 2020 will mark the first publicly open PPG event. Whether you can hack the hillage in 48, 72 hours or manage to complete it at all, this unique ride promises an incredible and unique challenge.

PPG is closely tied to the Friends of the Peak District charity, and registering to ride it will put funds directly into conserving this outdoor playground and the communities who depend on it.

Thank you, we hope to see you hill-lovers in June!

POSTPONED

Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus, we have decided to postpone this event until further notice.
If you have any queries, please email ride@allpointsnorth.cc.

Help us protect the Peak District!

The inaugural PPG riders experienced and embraced every part of Britain’s first National Park as they are keen to support conserving it for the future. Please help make their self-inflicted pain easier by supporting them in raising funds to protect the small communities, nature and wildlife of this incredible place. Thank you!!
