Chesterfield Five Pits Trail

STEADY NOT EASYGOING!! After speaking to my regular ladies, we will be riding along the Five Pits Trail next month. The route will follow the Five Pits Trail south from Grassmoor on gravelly paths to Tibshelf before turning and coming back the same way. The website has classed this as easy going but it is NOT. The speed is slow due to hills. The gravel can also be tricky to ride on. The path is surfaced but not suitable for road bikes. It is an undulating route, perfect for those wanting to build up fitness and skill level after completing the Trans Penine Trail. Unfortunately, there is no cafe for us to have our regular drink stop so please bring refreshments to have along the way. A map of the whole trail can be found here: http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/images/5%20Pits%20lft%20Jan%202012%20web_tcm44-216030.pdf Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. We really welcome newcomers to our rides. Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
