Rossett Sunday Pootle

Our ride starts at Station Road Carpark in Rossett. We head into Marford and make our way to Holt then over to Carden then to Bangor-on-dee and loop back round to Holt. There will be a stop at Lost Barn Cafe and if wanted another stop in Holt or at Cwtch in Rossett.

There will be a mixture of quiet lanes and main roads, care is to be taken on the lanes and if it has rained the night before, pot holes may not be as visible.

We start off going up Marford Hill, so if it is chilly we will soon warm up. This is the main big climb of the ride, the rest of the route is a little up and down. Take the hills at your own pace. After Marford Hill, we will regroup at the top near the co-op. No one is left behind. Although this ride is open to anyone, the pace will be 11-13mph and therefore it might not be suitable if you are new to cycling and you're not used to this distance.
