This ride will set off from Trek Bicycles at Fox Valley Stocksbridge and head out through the lanes to Holmfirth and back. The exact route will be decided on the day and will make the most of the stunning panoramic views from the mostly quiet country roads between Stocksbridge and Holmfirth. Once we get to Holmfirth we'll enjoy a stop for coffee and cake before heading back to Fox Valley (where there is an opportunity for more coffee and cake!). This is a moderately hilly route and will have around 4000 feet of climbing. However, we'll take our time on the hills and no-one will get left behind!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that all participants wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather.
As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). It is also a good idea to carry a spare chain link that matches your bike’s chain (e.g. 9, 10 or 11 speed). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
