Full Gas Bikes, 2 Fox Valley Way, Stocksbridge, Sheffield
Starting from Full Gas Bikes in Stocksbridge, this 18 mile loop climbs up to Thurgoland and then around some of the leafy lanes through Silkstone Common and Oxspring. We then drop down the steep descent of Mortimer Road, pass Underbank Reservoir and return to Full Gas Bikes.
Although there is quite lot of climbing in this ride and a few challenging hills, we’ll take it steady and stop for breathers whenever we need to. If you need to walk up any of the steeper bits, that is fine – we won’t leave anyone behind.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that you wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather.
As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; you should also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump, and tools to enable you to change a tube if necessary. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
