Mainly off road, crossing fields on bridleways, paths, gravel trails, through a bit of woodland on single track, and a good stretch of the tow path along the lovely Chesterfield Canal.
Some lovely country side and some great views on this route.

A 25 mile circular OFF road route across lots of open countryside to Worksop, returning along the Chesterfield canal to Wales. Coffee stop in Worksop.

Gravel trails, dirt tracks, bridleways, woodland trails, canal tow paths, and a bit of tarmac too.

A coffee stop at the Costa in the Priory Centre Worksop. And, there is a nice cafe in the Thornberry Animal Rescue centre about 15 yards from where we start/end the ride if we wish to use it.

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
