Peak District Rider Survey Update
Stanage Causeway – it doesn’t have to be like this! Thanks to Ride Sheffield volunteer Will Blomfield, we have recently carried out a very successful survey intended to establish just how important the Peak District is to riders from Sheffield and beyond.

The level of response was fantastic with over 1200 surveys completed in less than a month. Although the majority of responses were, unsurprisingly, from riders based in Sheffield and Derbyshire, we had responses from every part of the UK and even abroad. It just goes to show what a world-class biking destination the Peak District is! (more…)
