Evening Breeze - Dore to Longshaw

This is a fabulous route from South Sheffield through the Longshaw estate, looping back to the start through Whirlow. There is lots of climbing to do, but your efforts are rewarded by spectacular views across the Peak District and Longshaw, with the chance of seeing some deer too!

We begin with a long, steady climb from Dore Station, through Totley and up to Owler Bar, before getting on Owler Bar Road and climbing further towards Padley and then dropping down to Fox House. We then have our final, short climb up to Stony Ridge Road, before starting a gorgeous descent back into Sheffield via Whirlow.

BRING LIGHTS! The sun will be setting by the time get back.

Please bring a drink with you. As this is an evening ride, we won’t have a café stop, but can have a quick toilet break/breather at the Fox House pub if required.

Please ensure your bike is in good working order and bring a spare inner tube, multi-tool/spanner and a pump with you. Helmets are advised but not compulsory.

Please note – these roads often have fast moving traffic and cars will overtake us quickly. Please ensure you are comfortable riding on fast roads before signing up.
