Weds 21st Dec22, 26m circular, RVCP-Poolsbrook-Tapton-Hollingwood-RCVP

starts on the wide TPT from Rother Valley Coubtry Park to Staveley and Poolsbrook, then we cross to NCN to get across to Tapton Park Golf course and down into Chesterfield. We then pick up the Chesterfield-Worksop canal tow path back to Hollingwood and Stavely, then the TPT once again to get to RVCP.
It uses mainly TPT and NCN routes but there WILL be some mud, leaves, gravel to cope with along the way.

A steady ride without too many climbs and mainly traffic free

TPT, dirt trails, gravel trails, a bit of woodland tdirt trail, canal tow paths, and a bit of residential street road.

Two or three stops to choose from, Poolsbrook Park cafe, Kateys cafe at Hollingwood, RVCPark cafe. All good, we may even stop at them all :-)

Always wear a helmet and suitable clothing for the weather conditions. Please ensure you have a spare inner tube to suit your wheel size and carry a puncture repair kit along with some means of re inflating your tyre. You’ll need to bring a means of payment for the café stops or bring your own drink and snack with you

If this is your first time of riding with us please be assured you’ll be very welcome and we’ll be happy to have you join us. You’ll need to be used to riding uneven and mixed surfaces across country on tracks paths & trails, and you should not be afraid of getting a bit muddy or bothered about a bit of overgrown vegetation. We aim to make our rides fun, we like to explore off road routes and we always muck in if anyone needs any help or repairs etc. No need to be nervous, we don’t bite and we’ll do our best to make you feel part of the ride group 
