Breeze up Blindside and Strines

This ride takes us up the steady climb of Loxley Road to Damflask, where we turn left and continue along the side of the reservoir until we reach Low Bradfield. From there we have a long steady climb up Blindside Lane, which winds through the trees before emerging onto open moorland with beautiful views across Dale Dyke and Strines Reservoirs. At the top of Blindside Lane we'll turn right and continue across the moors until we come to Mortimer Road, where we turn right. After passing the Strines Inn we drop steeply down and then have a moderate climb before we turn right down a lovely twisty lane that takes us back to Low Bradfield. We'll stop at the Flask End cafe for coffee and cake before continuing along mostly flat or downhill roads back to the start.
