RWGPS map on the organiser website link on the right
A ride themed around the Dambusters raid. Head out to the Peak District for a circumnavigation of the Derwent Dams, where 617 squadron practiced before the raids, also visit Ripley the birthplace of Barnes Wallis. A few hills but worth it for the views. About 15km of off road cycle pathfine on 25mm tyres, mostly smooth hard packed trail but a short section of about 100 meters is quite rough, still fine on 25mm tyres though. Quite a few hills but nothing crazily steep.
Some pictures from the route are on the webpage link below:
