Wheel Do It! - Ride further and climb higher (2)

To continue the build up to our Peak District Challenge ride on 8th October, here's another one to get those legs working! We'll start as usual by heading up Loxley Road, but this time we'll turn right up Long Lane to Worrall and through the lanes towards Broomhead Reservoir. We wind our way through the lanes for a while before picking up Mortimer Road and riding across Strines Moor. We'll have some fine views and more ups and downs before we head back down to Low Bradfield via another scenic route. We'll stop in Low Bradfield for coffee and cake before heading back to the start point. Although there is quite lot of climbing in this ride and some steep and 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. The ride is best done on a road bike or a hybrid with road tyres (it would be hard work on a mountain bike). 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. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
