About the route

BL6 6JS

A varied route of trails, some off road and roadlinks. Defo no road tyres and with the weather this time of year a gravel bike would be ideal suited. Its not a race just a leisurely pace set depending on the group dynamic.
The weather has definitely turned so come prepared, we dont generally have a cafe stop on this ride but if opportunity presents it would be rude not to so bring some pennies just in case.
