Wheel Do It! - Strines loop and a bit more (with Betty-Ann and Paul)

We did this ride 2 weeks ago and had a great time, so here is another chance to do it. We'll head up Loxley Road past Damflask and through High Bradfield before turning right up Bolsterstone Road and onto Onesacre Road. From there we have a lovely swooping descent and a few ups and downs before we take a left onto Mortimer Road. We then ride across Strines Moor, with two short but fairly steep climbs on the way. A left turn then takes us onto Sugworth Road and past the top of Blindside Lane and left onto Ughill Wood Lane. We then drop down to Low Bradfield where we'll stop at the Flask End cafe for coffee and cake. There is then an easy 5 miles of mostly flat or downhill roads back to the start. Because this is slightly longer than the Strines Loop, Paul is going to join us as this is the ride that he started his group off with. So it will give you a chance to see what it would be like to step up to Paul's group. In coming weeks, Paul will be gradually increasing the distance, whereas I will continue to focus on doing the Strines Loop. 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; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant.
