The route will follow the Deerness Valley Cyclepath along to Waterhouses and from here we climb up to Stanley Crook. We will then descend and climb some of the bridleways in Billy Row. After climbing back up to Stanley Cook we will follow the cyclepath back to the start. We hope to stop for refreshments towards or at the end of the ride and will confirm this nearer the time, depending on which cafes are open.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Please make sure your bike is in working condition and bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. Expect to be out for about 4-5 hours in total.

For any queries please contact [email protected]. For any last minute cancellations on the day please text 07779346206 (note this phone is only for the day of the ride) otherwise use the option to cancel when you log in to letsride.co.uk. If the weather is bad we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so no later than 8.30am on the day by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. If you have not heard from us we are still riding.

This is a mainly off road trail ride for experienced riders around Billy Row. This route is for experienced riders as there are some steep climbs and decents on off road surfaces.

The route will be mainly on cycle paths and bridleways, with a short steep section on on quiet road.

We are hoping to stop for refreshments at the end of the ride, this will be confirmed nearer the time. Please bring a drink or snacks to keep your energy levels up.

As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably. You are better to be overdressed as you can always take layers off.
