How easy is it? I now have an e bike. But it's not a mountain bike. I'm
Very much a fair weather cyclist. Or any other nice suggestions for a nice ride? Hated the Tissington trail. (Uphill and no view) and did the Monsall trail last week. (Love it!

I have, it's very easy in my opinion. Pretty flat (though not entirely) and views of the water almost all the way round.

Excellent! I went to Rutland water recently and was really disappointed as it's not at all flat and barely saw the water!

Really easy. Bit boring though, can be busy near the visitor centre, and the dam, tends to be quiet on the other side.

Have you tried the high peak trail? A couple of big hills at the southern end but pretty flat at the top.

There's the manifold too

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

We walked round it a few years ago. If you go anti clockwise from the visitor centre, the first half is decent paths, the second have is bit more rugged terrain.

I am allergic to hills. Though now i have battery power it might be worth a go!

Pretty easy, my 5 year old nephew managed it

Manifold is nice, essentially flat.

Manifold way looks good as well. Not sure the cafe or facilities are open yet though.
