A cracking little Cycle Sportive in the heart of the Peak

SUNDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2025 - Entries open June 1st 2025

ENTER The Billy

Our signature and most popular ride is a future-proofed 105 km, featuring some of the most demanding climbs and exciting descents in this part of the Peak District. It includes Mam Nick and Longstone Edge to test the riders climbing legs, with a spot prize for the two big climbs in The Goat Strava Club

ENTER The Nanny

A tough 54 KM, our mid-route is fully signed and supported on mostly quiet roads. It’s a tour suitable for reasonably fit adults and takes in some of our most stunning scenery and natural beauty as well as a couple of killer climbs up Monsal Head and Sheldon Bank. Training definitely needed!

ENTER The Gruff

In 2024, we ran MID and LONG options for adventure riders and plan to do similar this year. We will curate two challenging gravel centric ‘reliability’ routes, meaning NO signs. Just you, your mates and your GPS. And a lot of fun.

ENTER The Kid

At 22 KM, our fabulous fully signed and supported family ride takes in challenging mixed terrain* on the drove roads and trails of Eyam and Hucklow and a very special ‘one-day-only’ magical mystery trail down from Maclough to Bank Top Farms. *Tarmac option available.

ENTER Billy No Mates Century Ride

The Billy No Mates was debuted in 2023 and designed for the next decade; we have responded to local club riders and curated a 100 mile ‘Century’ route, for club riders or Audax junkies who need to push the boundaries of the Goat pen. 

40% signed, 60% self-supported – you will need to have a GPS unit and know how to use it! Snack Stop and Feed Station plus vehicle support in case of major mechanical. 

All proceeds support the local community through The Grindleford Goat Charity
