The Chew Valley challenge.
Need to be fit and good at climbing for that one.
Amazing views.
Some great cycleways.
If we get back in time we may add on the Delph donkey trail which starts and finishes at the car park . Extra 3 miles.
A scenic ride to Dovestone reservoir and beyond.
Mostly traffic free using bridleways and cycle paths. Some unsurfaced gravel , mud and a rocky climb ( blue grade) worth the views and amazing scenery. 1875 feet of elevation .
Cafe near the start for toilets or a brew. Also toilets at Dovestones we will pass twice. Packed Lunch will be on route and stops for snacks.
Bring a packed lunch and snacks. Ensure plenty of fluids. The weather looks good but it can change and as it will be remote in places bring a waterproof and be prepared for cold winds.
It’s gonna be a great ride
