We will pedal out west towards Elvaston Country Park, taking Ambaston Lane to Shardlow then going 'Up the Amazon' to check out the latest warehouse development (how many new ones since we last rode this way?) dropping down into and through Kegworth, Sawley and Breaston before returning to Alvaston Park via Borrowash, taking the Asda route back to Derby. This route may well be amended should the weather be a bit inclement. We may have to avoid Church Wilne - flooding may linger here.

As usual we ride on a mixture of busier roads, country lanes and traffic free cycle paths.

Our refreshment point will either be be at Fintons Cafe and Bakehouse in Breaston, Lanes Garden Centre or The Pip Tree Borrowash two thirds of the way round the ride. As it is half term - it could be busy so decide on the day.

Helmets are advised - I will be wearing one. The Covid Bit - please do not ride if you are feeling unwell, you test positive or are showing signs / symptoms of Covid. If you test positive or feel unwell / show signs or symptoms of Covid after the ride, please let the ride leader know. Please bring everything with you that you might need on the ride eg spares, tools, extra clothing, snacks and drink, sharing is not encouraged.
