点评:Finally made it to the area to ride this trail. Did the whole length & back.
From Ashbourne, after the tunnel and a big dip, its a very slight uphill gradient all the way to Parsley Hay. The 2 ends are well compacted and fairly smooth. I did it on ordinary road tyres.
The middle section from Alsop to Hartington the gravel is much more loose so you need to pay attention or you could come off.
The day I did it there was a strong north eastern wind gusting around the 20's mph. Quite a lot of the trail is sheltered, but other parts are wide open and exposed. So going North took a bit of effort. Coming back was a the opposite!!!
From the cutting just south of Parsley Hay with the wind behind me, I didn't even peddle for at least a mile!
Enjoyed it and planning to do High Peak trail next, but I will take a bike with off road tyres this time. Nice way to spend a few hours and 100% traffic free, as well being free to use. The car parks are chargeable from 9am to 6pm. I was staying on a caravan site right on the trail so didn't need to use them,
翻译:终于到了可以骑行这条路线的地方。我骑完了全程,然后返回。
从阿什伯恩出发,过了隧道,经过一个大坡度的下坡后,一路到帕斯利干草(Parsley Hay)都是微微上坡。路的两端路面压实良好,相当平整。我用的是普通公路胎。
从奥尔索普(Alsop)到哈廷顿(Hartington)的中间路段,碎石要松散得多,所以需要注意安全,否则可能会摔车。
我骑的那天,刮着强劲的东北风,风速大约在每小时20英里左右。大部分路段都有遮挡,但其他路段则开阔无阻。所以往北骑得费劲。回来的时候情况正好相反!!!
从帕斯利干草南边的路口出发,顺风骑行,我至少有一英里没踩踏板!
我很享受这次骑行,下次计划去高峰(High Peak)路线,但这次我会骑越野胎的自行车。很棒的消磨时间的方式,而且完全没有交通拥堵,而且免费使用。停车场上午9点到下午6点收费。我住在小路上的房车营地,所以不需要停车。
