Elvaston Castle - Quiet Lanes, Cloud Trail and Cake

Leaving Elvaston Castle we will ride along mostly flat and quiet lanes through local villages. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the closure of the Harrington Tea Rooms we will extend our ride to head a short distance along the Cloud Trail and call at Melbourne Tea Rooms. The route is most suited to hybrids but is doable on road bikes or mountain bikes. This circular route is a great confidence builder if you are returning to cycling - we will go at the pace of the slowest rider so don't worry about being dropped! Anyone who would like to cycle to the start point from Chellaston (approx. 3.5 miles), please message me to make a plan. Please wear a helmet and make sure your bike is roadworthy. It is advisable to bring a drink, a puncture repair kit/spare inner tube and pump just in case.
