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?) riding through Kegworth, Sawley and Breaston before returning to Alvaston Park and then Darley Parks.
As usual we ride on a mixture of busier roads, country lanes and traffic free cycle paths.
Checking out a new cafe at Hemmington.
