PEAK EPIC
The Ultimate Sportive Challenge
The inaugural PEAK EPIC in 2013 set a new benchmark for a hard Peak District sportive, the 2014 event confirmed it as one of, if not, the UK’s toughest Grand Fondo’s. Up there with the Dragon Ride and the Fred Whitton.
The truly epic long route ascends 4000m (>13000ft) in just 165km (103 miles) across the full breadth of Peak District taking in the; Hope Valley, Edale, Chapel-en-le-Frith, The Goyt Valley/Cat & Fiddle, Macclesfield Forest, Axe Edge, Longnor and finally Lathkill Dale.
