Breeze Derby - Up the Amazon

Starting at 10am from Parker's Piece (Chester Green end of Darley Park) we will pedal along the River Path to Alvaston Park (10.20 start option here - by the Sustrans Post) continuing west towards Elvaston Country Park, taking Ambaston Lane to Shardlow then going 'Up the Amazon' to check out the latest warehouse development (how many new ones since we last rode this way?) dropping down into and through Kegworth, Sawley and Breaston before returning to Alvaston Park via Borrowash, checking out the resurfacing work on the River Path back to alvaston and then Darley Parks. This route may well be amended should the weather be a bit inclement. We may have to avoid Church Wilne - flooding may disrupt the ride here.

As usual we ride on a mixture of busier roads, country lanes and traffic free cycle paths.

Our refreshment point will either be be at Cafe Blue, Sawley Marina or The Pip Tree, Borrowash, we can decide on the day.
