Evening Breeze - Dore to Longshaw anti-clockwise

We begin with a steepish climb out of Dore, past Ecclesall Woods Discovery Centre and up to Whirlow, before a longer but more gentle incline up to Stony Ridge Road. After dropping down to the Fox House pub, we turn left onto Owler Bar Road and across the beautiful moorland at Longshaw, before starting a nice descent back to our starting point from Owler Bar.

This is a lovely route from South Sheffield out to the edge of the Peak District. The loop involves some climbing, but it's all very doable and there some beautiful views with a chance of seeing some deer at the top so it's well worth the effort!

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.

Please bring a drink with you as there is no cafe stop on this ride. The nice people at Radjani Indian Restaurant at Dore station will let you use their toilets if you ask nicely. :-)

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