This is a very nice route using lots of OFF Road trails tracks & woodland paths. We'll be riding on lots of different and varied surfaces and seeing lots of scenic countryside.
Its not a race but our pace usually averages around 10mph for the whole route.
We do like a coffee stop or two, usually with a cake or scone, and we do like to chat so we have to watch the time spent in the cafes

A mainly OFF Road route, Great scenery, lots of countryside, a few climbs but nothing too serious, just great fun if you like being outdoors and Off Road

This is a cross country ride using lots of dirt & gravel trails and tracks, some dirt single track woodland paths, some canal tow path, and a bit of tarmac lanes.

At least 2 coffee stops, first one at Serlby Golf Clubhouse @15m, 2nd at the Darfoulds Greenhouse Cooffee shop @35m, and maybe another at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary @44m or at Greggs at ride end.

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 !

You are very welcome to join us, we HOPE you do, BUT a few things to consider first - It is definitely not a race but we do usually average around 10mph on these cross country rides so you'll need to be fairly fit. We will encounter some loose gravel, stones and dirt on the trails and at this time of year there will be overgrown vegetation too, so you'll need to be able to cope with these things. At various points on our routes we will need to negotiate a swing gate or two, some 'A' Frames and maybe a stile, so you'll need to be able to lift your bike onto its back wheel to manoeuvre it through these obstacles, and maybe even lift it over a stile. If these things sound fine to you and they don't put you off you are very welcome to join us. We look forward to meeting you
