Wheel Do It! Round Bolsterstone and Midhope (2) with Lynne C and Linda

From Full Gas Bikes we will be repeating our lovely ride of the 11th March which was building on the route Betty-Ann has been doing recently. For approximately 14 miles, we will guide you through Stocksbridge and quickly on to quiet lanes up the side of Underbank Reservoir where we climb gradually towards Bolsterstone, then head downhill and loop around passing Whitwell Moor and then up Long Lane which is a very steady gradual climb. We will pause at the top to take in the far reaching views, before riding down the lovely descent of Wind Hill Lane and then tackling the next short climb up to Mortimer Road. From there we turn right and head down towards our left turn which takes us around the back of Midhope Reservoir past pine trees and on to the tiny hamlet of Upper Midhope before heading down through Midhopestones. Here we turn right at the Mustard Pot Inn and head around the back of Underbank Reservoir alongside the woods. This section has a short climb at the end where we will take our time, and then head back down the side of Underbank Reservoir towards Full Fas Bikes for a welcome cup of coffee and cake.
