It's Nearly Spring Ride

This one has certainly been a while since the last ride but after Christmas the weather has been appalling and the one I had planned had to be cancelled so I'm really hoping the weather is now going to improve.
Meeting up at Elvaston castle by the toilet block at the entrance we will get going and head over to Aston, Weston on Trent, Swarkstone, we will take the back road so we don't have to cross the bridge over to Kings Newton, then over to Diseworth, Zouch, Sutton Bonnington, up Long lane to Sawley Marina where we will have a coffee break. To be honest the cafe is nearly at the end of the ride so if you need to put some snacks in your pocket to eat along the way.

From here we will ride into Draycott and back to the beginning again. Pack yourself with anything you may need, extra clothing, snacks, water. It'll be really nice to catch up with you alll and if you've never rode with us it'll be lovely to meet you.

Hope you enjoy the ride
