Meet us in the car park at Fairholmes Visitor Centre Bamford for a beautiful 16 mile ride along pine tree lined tarmac roads following the contour of Derwent Dam to the Kings Tree, and then onto good tracks and paths to the area known as a slippery stones, over the old bridge, and around the far side of the dams and through the woodland where we can hopefully get some beautiful photographs of the bluebells. This route is ideal for riders who are happy on all types of terrain and would like to ride in peaceful surroundings with like minded ladies. We will take it steady, enjoying the scenery and wildlife along the way, and as with all Breeze rides, we ride to the pace of the slowest rider in a sociable group so nobody will be left behind.

The bluebells are beautiful in the woods at this time of year - here is a ride to make the most of them

Using mostly tracks and paths with a tarmac section at one side of the dams as we leave the visitor centre

We have the option to ride to the Anglers Rest cafe in Bamford for coffee and cake or lunch during the ride depending on how everyone feels - this will add a couple of miles onto the route

Please bring along the means to repair a puncture and money for an optional cafe stop.

First-timers welcome!
