Wheel Do It! - Up to High Bradfield and across Strines Moor (with Betty-Ann)

To conclude the series of rides we've been doing over the last few weeks, we have a lovely circuit via High Bradfield, Strines and Ughill. As before, we set off from Loxley Road and ride up the right hand side of Damflask and up a long steady hill to High Bradfield. From there we continue up a short, steepish hill and across the moor until we reach Mortimer Road. A left turn takes us over the brow of the hill and down a steep descent and down through a sharp right-hand bend. We then have a short, steep hill to climb followed by a relatively flat stretch that takes us to a left turn before we reach another steep descent and a short, sharp climb up to the Strines Inn (option to stop here for refreshments). The route then continues across Strines Moor until we turn left on to Sugworth Road. This lovely lane has striking views over the valley and takes us to a left turn onto Ughill Wood Road before we sweep round to the left and drop down the steep descent past the Plough into Low Bradfield. Here we will stop for coffee and cake (if we haven't already had sufficient refreshment at the Strines Inn) before the easy and mostly flat ride back to the start.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that you 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). 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.
