To Lady's Grove via Dukeries, back via Archaeological trail, Clowne. 43miles

A mainly OFF Road route, Great scenery, lots of countryside, a few climbs but nothing too serious, just great fun if you like being outdoors and Off Road
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.
At least 2 coffee stops, first one at Dukeries garden centre @16m, 2nd at the Ashgate cafe in Clowne @30m, and maybe another at the Greggs in Thurcroft @43miles at ride end.

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. Its not a race but our pace usually averages around 10mph for the whole ride/route. We do like a coffee stop or two, usually with a cake or scone, and we do like to chat so we have to watch the time spent in the cafes

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.

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 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
