Tuesday Night Rides

Tuesday night rides are mainly local to the Amber Valley area, within easy travelling distance and start around 7.00pm. All routes are off-road, and normally planned for 1.5 to 2 hour duration. All the rides start and finish at a local pub with good parking. The rides require a basic level of physical fitness and ability, with most routes containing some technical climbs and descents. All the routes are given a categorisation as per our ride list on the rides tab. The rides go ahead no matter the weather or conditions, plus a good set of lights will be required from September to March. For ride details and meeting places go to the ride tab and select the Tuesday night list, and click onto the meeting place for a map.

Monthly Sunday Rides

DVATC weekend club rides normally take place on the second Sunday of each month. The routes for these rides may require a little travel, with the most common locations being within the Peak District. Rides are planned for 4 to 6 hours, and will require a relatively high level of physical fitness and ability. Most of the routes have challenging technical sections suitable for experienced riders. The technical sections could include steep rocky descents, with unavoidable obstacles such as large steps, gaps and drop-offs. Routes will be changed on the day in the case of bad weather. .
