Red Rat Rampage 2024
NEW RED AND BLACK ROUTES!

The RED RAT RAMPAGE is BACK for the 4th time!! A community fundraising mountain bike challenge event in the heart of the Peak District taking place on Sunday 22th September

There are 3 routes to choose from…

​

SHORT: ‘Splat the Rat’ - 13km + 300m ascent

​

MEDIUM: ‘to the EDGE and back' - 40km + 1000m ascentA new route that drops you down to the beautiful village of Froggatt and over the old bridge crossing the river Derwent before a challenging climb to the stunning Froggatt edge with stunning views across the valley below. Next comes the ‘Spookey House’ ascent before a food stop and the moorland pass that eventually drops you past a small moorland reservoir where many now bathe.
Beyonfd this the tracks split for Bubonicator to extend but the Ring O’Roses turns right and heads home bound. But don’t think its all done. A long descent drops you to the Chatsworth village of Baslow with a Spar and Co-Op before the challenging climbs back to Eyam with a final long descent into Stoney Middleton on the way.

​

LONG: ‘to the EDGE and BEYOND’ - 60km + 1500m ascent

You follow the RED ROUTE but then head out towards the narrow twisty tracks that are to follow. This combined with some mud and ford crossings adds to this routes charm. Be prepared for the leg sapping climbs that await as you twist and turn back to join your fellow bikers on the RED ROUTE.
