Barton Marina Double route ride

This is a DOUBLE circular route starting and ending at Barton Marina from the car park outside the Waterside pub being on the left 150 yards along the roadway into the marina where car parking and toilets are free to use for the duration of the ride.
We first turn left into Barton and head out to Yoxall and Hoar Cross before the ride back to the Marina a relaxing cup of tea can be had before we then head out turning Right toward Barton on Trent and our second circular route back to the marina.
The full route has only 3 short and not demanding hills being mostly quite flat. The first circular is 16 miles and if any rider does not wish to ride the second circular of 18 miles it is ok to leave the ride when stopping for tea and cake at the Marina.

This is also my 100th guided ride and hope that some of those I have rode with over the years will join me.
