Saturday Dec 20th '25, 31 miles Langold, Scofton, Shireoaks circ

This is a very nice route using lots of OFF Road trails tracks & woodland paths. We'll be riding on lots of different and varied surfaces and seeing lots of scenic countryside.

This is a cross country ride using lots of dirt & gravel trails and tracks, some dirt single track woodland paths, some canal tow path, and a bit of tarmac lanes.

Two planned stops, 1st one at Langold Park cafe @10miles, and the 2nd at Macchiato Lounge at route end @31miles. Langold cafe is CASH only, no cards or Apple Pay.

Always wear a helmet and suitable riding gear for the conditions. Carry some water and snack, bring cash & card for the cafe's, and ALWAYS have the means to REPAIR a PUNCTURE if you get a flat ! Your bike should have a bell to warn other trail users of our approach, and when its wet weather Mudguards should be fitted to prevent spraying other riders.

We love to meet new riders and you are very welcome to join us, we HOPE YOU DO, but here’s a few things to consider first - Our routes are designed for pedal power bikes, we don’t consider eBikes and their weight when planning these routes. We will encounter some loose gravel, stones and dirt on the trails and there will be overgrown vegetation too, so you'll need to be able to cope with these things. At various points on our routes we will need to negotiate a swing gate or two, some 'A' Frames and maybe a stile, so you'll need to be able to lift your bike onto its back wheel to manoeuvre it through these obstacles, and maybe even lift it over a stile. It is definitely not a race, but we do usually average around 9-10mph on these cross country rides so you'll need to be fairly fit. If these things sound fine to you and they don't put you off you are very welcome to join us. We look forward to meeting you
