Starting from City Road Car Park (next to Parkers Piece) in Little Chester this route takes us out via the familiar River Path (via alvaston Park - option to join the ride here) to Elvaston Country Park and then through Borrowash, taking the Old Canal (shared) path we wend our way through Breaston and on to Long Eaton. Refreshments will be taken at Long Eaton Farm Shop where we can rock with the radishes. The return route takes us through Church Wilne and on the shared paths 'back of Spondon'. This is as flat a route as you get at around the 175m climb mark, 40km in length, the pace will be steady as there are quite a few twists and turns.
We ride a mixture of shared paths, country lanes and urban roads (some of these can get busy although they are just short sections).
The refreshment stop at Long Eaton Farm Shop is at about the half way point.
Helmets are strongly advised along with tools / pump for any mechanicals or the 'Flat Gremlin'.
