Meeting at 6:30pm in Fulwood on 25 May 2018 - Please join for the first of a series of alternate Friday evening rides through spring / summer...
A wonderfully scenic route that incorporates all that South Yorkshire has to offer.
Beginning at Fulwood House Car Park this route offers limestone wall lined country roads meandering through idyllic rolling hills and woodland Wildlife Trusts. Beginning in Fulwood, the route heads west parallel with Porter Brook, through the quaint suburban, setting before climbing up circling Peter Wood. The ascent is a rewarding one, with the vista taking Lodge Moor and the undulating farm lands. Although there will be some climbing, there's no problem getting off and walking occasionally - and it will be worth it for the fantastic views - almost as far as the east coast! The route continues out towards Redmires Reservoirs where there will be an opportunity to stop for refreshments and admire the views. The route returns past Wyming Brook Nature Reserve, this time cycling North side of Peter Wood to re-join Mayfield Road and winding back home to the start :)
Please bring a road worthy bike, a helmet whilst not compulsory is recommended, bike spares eg. Inner tubes/puncture repair kit and multi tool, drinks and a snack.
There isn't a cafe stop on this one, but we will take a breather as needed and soak up those views and the fresh air at the gorgeous reservoirs.
I'm looking forward to meeting you, please message on here with any questions.
Gill :)
