MEMBERS CHOICE - Sandall Gatewood Ridings & Trails

Well the Members have spoken and the ride chosen is one from early May this year, so we're heading out on an adventurous route that will test your skills at staying mounted on your bike. Don't be alarmed, actually it might mean there is one bit of the ride where you may feel more comfortable walking your bike. Yes, we've located an infamous Green Lane track, which actually may be more muddy than green but either way it's not an even surface - it's a typical farm track. This starts around a mile or so before we reach our mid way cafe stop at Boston Park. The ride is predominantly off road with some unavoidable road work and takes in Sandall Beat, lots of unsurfaced lanes in the middle of the contryside, and Cantley Park. You don't want to be hopping on your road bike for this one! We'll be meeting at the car park in Sandall Beat Wood at 10.15am with a view to setting off at 10.30am. We should reach our cafe stop by around 12.15am and be back at the car park by around 2.30pm.
