This ride starts with a steady climb up Loxley Road before passing the Nag's Head and to the right of Damflask Reservoir and up a long steady hill to High Bradfield. We then continue up on to the moors until we reach Mortimer Road where we turn left and descend to another left turn. From there we continue past Agden Reservoir and pass the Flask End cafe in Low Bradfield. If anyone wants to, there is the option to stop at the cafe while the rest of the group continue up a short, steep hill past the Plough Inn and do a short loop that returns to the cafe. After coffee and cake, we'll all make our way back to the start along relatively flat roads along the side of Damflask. Although there is some climbing in this ride, we'll take our time and stop for breathers if needed. No-one will get left behind!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that all participants 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). It is also a good idea to carry a spare chain link that matches your bike’s chain (e.g. 9, 10 or 11 speed). 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. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
