Starting point




Derbyshire
DE21 7FH

So now that the days are getting darker and the lanes are wet and slippery I thought it was best to keep this one to an all road ride, the only main hill is the one thats leads from Castle Donnington to Hemmington but it really is §not as hard as it looks. We are starting a bit earlier than we normally do too with a cafe stop at the end of the ride in the garden centre at Colliers, really lovely there.

So we will meet up at the village hall in Spondon where there is free parking at 10,00 and head over to Borrowash, Aston on Trent, Castle Donnington where we hit the hill to Hemmington. From here we will make way through the back streets to Kegworth, Sawley, Draycott and to the cafe for a much deserved break.

After a bit of a break we will then make our way back to the village hall in Spondon.
Theres a couple of inclines but we always wait at the top of all of them for everyone to catch up.
Please do make sure have everything you need for this ride and give your bike the once over to make everything is fine to ride.
Hope to see you then!!
