So here is another Bank Holiday special and we'll be riding the roads around East Leake, theres some lovely quiet lanes but we'll need to get there first.

So meeting up at the car park at Trent Locke, if you are driving when you get to Locke Lane go to the very end, the car park is a pay and display and may have a height restriction on one side but the other side looks fairly clear if you are driving in. From the car park we will ride to Castle Donnington and up the hill to the airport, meeting at the top when everyone has got there we will then head to Tonge, Belton, Zouch, and over to the cafe at East Leake for a well learnt rest.

From here we will then head over to West Leake, Kingston on Soar, Sawley and back to Trent lock, there may even be the option of having an ice cream here at the end too!!

Please do make sure you have everything you need for this ride, pace is steady, we like to look at the surrounding area, I always get myself ready the night before so I'm not rushing at the last minute. Hopefully the weather will be gorgeous but we never know so be prepared.
See you then!!
