Retro Peak District cycling pictures to take you back to the hills

The Peak District Mountain Bike Challenge may not have happened this year, but we have dug out some great archive pictures to take you back to cycling the tough terrain of the hills and dales.

Whether you found your pedal power to support a charity or you were just out having fun on two wheels, we have pictures going back to 1999 – so see if we took your picture.

Want more Peak District retro? Take a look at Y Not festival goers over the years, or celebrate the work of Peak District Mountain Rescue volunteers.
