This will be our fist AI mountain bike ride, that's Alison & Ian, not artificial intelligence...
Starting at Go Ape, we will head up through Rivington gardens, across to Belmont and beyond, where we will pick up the Witton Weavers Way towards Roddlesworth.
After a refreshment stop at Abbey Village we make our way back via White Coppice and past Healey Nab.

We will be riding mostly off road with a few short sections of connecting roads. This is not a technical route but there are a few notable climbs, making this route a bit more challenging so a good level of fitness is required.

We will have a stop about half way at the Hare & Hounds in Abbey Village.

All riders must wear a helmet – no helmet, no ride. Please make sure you bring a spare innertube, mech hanger and other equipment that you might need for your won bike for any trailside repairs. Please be self sufficient with plenty of fluids, snacks and a waterproof as we will be out for a while.
