Centurion Way, Bentley, Doncaster - on the road you use to access the retail park car park, next to the Car Wash on the way into Bentley

Okay, so you're definitely going to need lights that you can see with for this one, and lights on the back so you can be seen from behind. The ride will be a mix of on road (but kept to a minimum) and off road (on cycle tracks) BUT if you do have any reflective gear I recommend you wear that as well. Meeting up on Centurion Way at 7.30pm and heading along the Doncaster Greenway towards Highfields where we will call in at The Broad Highway for a drink. We'll then head out towards Adwick Le Street before heading, in a loop, to Brodsworth and then joining Roman Ridge. There are some ascents to tackle but nothing too difficult, BUT once we get onto the Ridge it isnt long before we find ourselves on what is a long, steady downhill ride back to York Road and our next watering hole, the Sun Inn, before finally making our way back to the start point on Centurion Way. This ride is on surfaced tracks/roads, so is suitable for road/tourer bikes as well as hybrid/mountain bikes. Just for a bit of fun we'd like you to don scary masks (or highwayman gear!), and if any of you fancy turning up in glow in the dark skeleton suits that would be brilliant (I think unfortunately I'm too big to get into one), though safety still comes first (as well as keeping warm), so make sure you wear your helmet (this is compulsory) and warm clothing. As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre ride checks. The ride is approx 12 miles in all.
