SMTBE A Tail of Two Trails

Starting at Croft cycle trail car park on Pipers Way, we will start with a lap and then ride along route 45 to Shaw Forest for a lap of Shaw, before returning to Croft. This is a perfect ride for beginners, with a well surfaced, largely flat route, with optional fun bits! It's 10 miles to Shaw and back, so that's the minimum, plus how every many laps of Croft / Shaw Forest you want to do. It will be dark obviously, but the route to Shaw is well surfaced and lit in places - lights are essential though, as it's very dark in other places.
