Now established as one of the most challenging sportive routes in the UK cycling calender.The 2024 Bradwell Hill Billy on Sunday 23rd June 2024.

Dubbed the Peak District's answer to the Fred Whitton due to its tough seven hill route and 2300m of ascent, the Bradwell Hill Billy attracts local cyclists as well as those from further afield looking for a day of hardcore cycling taking in staggeringly beautiful parts of the Peak District you've probably never seen before.

First organised to raise money for Bradwell Preschool in 2014, the event immediately established itself as one of the most challenging in the cycle sportive calendar.

The day allows a maximum of 200 entrants keeping the ride a small event and not over whelming our beautiful country roads. Riders from 16 years old upward welcome(under 18's must be accomponied by an over 18 rider)

Daniel Plevey, Event Organiser, says, "We know that the Bradwell HillBilly is one of the toughest sportive routes in the UK, and  we're proud of that. Whether you're an old hand at hardcore cycling, or you want to set yourself an ambitious target for your new 2023 fitness regime, sign up - you'll have fun"

Our village hospitality and support is amazing - so your legs may be ready to drop off by the end but we will make it up to you with free soup and homemade cake as you finish, if that's any consolation. You can also feel good knowing that your entry fee is helping to keep our village preschool running."
