ESCAPE TO THE CITY

MANCHESTER – HIGH PEAK

25.6km (15.9miles)

The west side of the Pennines probably doesn’t get the attention it deserve. While Sheffield to the east is the go-to Peak District destination for many riders, the hills that act as the backdrop for Manchester are just as fun and often quieter.

Starting in New Mills on the edge of the Greater Manchester metropolis this ride takes you out of the urban sprawl, through a post-industrial landscape and into the edge of the High Peak. It’s a punchy little ride that does away with pleasantries like a warm up, once you start you’re right into it – making it perfect for an afternoon blast that ticks all the boxes.

100% GLENDALE GLASSES

100% GLENDALE GLASSES

When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view, allowing you to focus on the terrain in front of you. The Glendale is absolutely vast, and actually has a lens size akin to a full downhill goggle, so you literally can’t see the top or sides of the frame.

DMR STAGE 2 MTB RAIL SADDLE

DMR's new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped it in a new skin and added some harder-wearing reinforcement to the edges. It's also toned down the lairy graphics; this saddle only comes in plain black.
