We start from the rear of Giant Sheffield in the car park on Harrington Road next to the Umix Centre. Cars can be left here at owners risk or if busy over at JE James caraprk. Store will be open but may have social distancing guidelines in place so please check before entering the store!
Our ride will take us out on a gentle climb up through Nether Edge, over Ecclesall /Whirlow before we climb up to Ringinglow and Mayfield Alpacas. We then stay up to enjoy spectacular views of Sheffield, before descending down Roper Hill and returning to store via Lodge Moor, Redmires, Fulwood, Endcliffe, Sharrow and Nether Edge.
This route is suitable for ladies wanting to start going further on road bikes or hybrids. All the hills on this ride are do-able, we always wait/regroup at junctions and don't mind should you need to walk in places. All our rides are paced to suit everyone in the group and no one is ever left behind.
Please dress suitably for the weather conditions and also in clothing that you are comfortable wearing on the bike. Reflective/light coloured clothing is recommended this time of year.
Helmets are recommended, but not compulsory. Please carry drinks and snacks. Bring money should you wish to visit the cafe with us. Please also carry a puncture repair kit/spare inner tubes, and a multi tool. Lights are also useful.
COVID 19-
Due to Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, our cafe stop on route maybe different or replaced with a bring your own picnic, we will update once we have spoken to the cafe venue. On the ride we require you to have preregisted and hsve provided all details incase we need to implement track and trace. We will remain at 1m+ (2m where possible) apart and everyone is asked to carry a Mask, Gloves and hand santiser for any stops or emergencies on route. At this time we can't help fix punctures etc, we can only do emergency first aid. So please make sure you are self sufficient or have someone who can pick you up if any punctures or mechanicals occur. We can however, advise from a social distance.
We look forward to riding with you! Any questions, please send a message on here or via the Breeze South Yorkshire Facebook Page.
