Alternative Ways to Pedal Around Parkwood Springs and Sheffield’s Parks

This is the first social ride heading from Parkwood Springs. We will use alternative ways to get around Parkwood and Sheffield’s parks, by heading towards Sheffield United Academy, then through Roe Woods. Next, it’s a short pedal to Longley Park, where there are some hidden trails. Parsons Cross Park is home to a pavilion, playgrounds and potting sheds. We can spirit our way past Hillsborough (Sheffield Wednesday’s ground), before following established tracks in Hillsborough Park. We can fuel up in the café at Rivelin. The return trail will see us travelling through the Ponderosa, Upper Don Valley, and then Pitsmoor. As we draw breath near the end of the ride, we can marvel at the technical sections of Parkwood Springs Mountain Bike Trail, designed by Sheffield’s downhill legend - who won 17 world cups.
