Wheel Do It! around Agden

This is a new route for Wheel Do It! and takes in some lovely lanes and has great views of moors, valleys, hills and reservoirs. The ride starts with a steady climb up Loxley Road before passing the Nag's Head and to the right of Damflask Reservoir, up a hill and then down the northern side of the reservoir to Low Bradfield. We then head up a long steady climb along the North Eastern side of Agden Reservoir and up towards Strines Moor. After dropping down into the valley we climb up a short but steep hill before turning back down a long steady descent to the South Western side of Agden Reservoir. We return to Low Bradfield for coffee and cake at the Flask End Café before heading back along the southern side of Damflask. Note: due to roadworks, amendments to the last part of the route from Low Bradfield to Malin Bridge may be required. Although there is quite lot of climbing in this ride and some challenging hills, we’ll take it steady and stop for breathers whenever we need to. If you need to walk up any of the steeper bits, that is fine – we won’t leave anyone behind. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS We recommend that you wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather. As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; you should also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump, and tools to enable you to change a tube if necessary.
