The ride begins at the Winster Cycling Hub, where morning light finds stone cottages and the guide hands over a top-spec eBike. Pedaling away from the village, riders glide along quiet lanes and a traffic‑free former railway that opens into broad dale views; the river below dares you to pause and listen. Stanton Moor’s low tors and its prehistoric stone circle slide into view—an abrupt, human-made punctuation on the limestone plateau.

Charge and check batteries
Ensure the eBike starts fully charged and ask your guide about expected range—hills and headwinds use more battery than flat lanes.

Choose sensible shoes
Closed-toe trainers with a grippy sole work best for brief off-bike stops and cobbled village streets.
Respect village life
Stick to signed paths, keep noise low and buy a coffee or snack at local cafés to support small businesses.
Helmet
Protects your head and is often required by operators.
Water bottle or hydration pack
