1st ride of 2026

A nice n easy 30 miles ride, southeast from Branton, Doncaster. Out to Finningley then along the side of the airport runway to head south to Austerfield and Bawtry.
After coffee in Bawtry we do a bit of trail riding to Scrooby, then Serlby golf course, then over to Harworth, Tickhill, and Wadworth.
A steady pace, 2 cafe stops, only 600ft of climb, and lots of hard surface too.
A great way to get back into the pedalling groove after the festivities.
Using lots more hard surface trails than we usually ride, but there will be some single tracks and dirt trails. There's also some small lanes and a bit of residential roads through the villages.
Two stops are planned, first at only 9 miles, in Bawtry, and the second stop at either Tweeds Wadworth @22m or at Annabels, Amazon Lakes @25m.

Always wear a helmet and suitable riding gear for the conditions. Carry some water and snack, bring cash & card for the cafe's, and ALWAYS have the means to REPAIR a PUNCTURE if you get a flat ! Your bike should have a bell to warn other trail users of our approach, and when its wet weather Mudguards should be fitted to prevent spraying other riders.

First-timers welcome!
