This is a very nice route using lots of OFF Road trails tracks & woodland paths. We'll be riding on lots of different and varied surfaces and seeing lots of scenic countryside.
Its not a race but our pace usually averages around 10mph for the whole ride/route.
We do like a coffee stop or two, usually with a cake or scone, and we do like to chat so we have to watch the time spent in the cafes

Bridleways, Lanes, Woodland trails, Field paths, and a bit of tarmac

Mostly OFF Road with just a bit of B road and lane, lots of dirt paths, trails &bridleways, AND two refreshment stops @13m & 28m.

1st stop at a Chuck Wagon on the industrial estate at Harworth, 2nd one at CUP & Co cafe in Woodsetts

Always wear a helmet and suitable riding gear for the conditions. Carry some water and snack, bring cash & card for the cafe's, and ALWAYS have the means to REPAIR a PUNCTURE if you get a flat !

We love to see new faces and you'll be very welcome if you join us, we HOPE YOU DO, but here’s a few things to consider first - It is definitely not a race, but we do usually average around 10mph on these cross country rides so you'll need to be fairly fit. We will encounter some loose gravel, stones and dirt on the trails and at this time of year there will be overgrown vegetation too, so you'll need to be able to cope with these things. At various points on our routes we will need to negotiate a swing gate or two, some 'A' Frames and maybe a stile, so you'll need to be able to lift your bike onto its back wheel to manoeuvre it through these obstacles, and maybe even lift it over a stile. If these things sound fine to you and they don't put you off you are very welcome to join us. We look forward to meeting you
