Wheel Do It! - to Edale and back (with Graham)

This ride sets off from the usual spot at the start of Loxley Road and heads out through Low Bradfield and up Blindside Lane and Sugworth Road to the A57. From there we drop down to Ladybower where we turn left and continue past the Yorkshire Bridge and right onto pretty little lanes that take us through Thornhill and onwards to Hope. We then turn right and continue to Edale, where we will stop for refreshments. There is an option for those who want to to tackle the challenging climb up Mam Nick while the others are in the cafe, before we all head back to Hope and then to Hathersage before we tackle the climb up Jaggers and Coggers Lanes to Stannage Edge and onwards to Ringinglow, Lodge Moor and back to the start.
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
Please do not attend if you have COVID symptoms (new, persistent cough; fever; loss of sense of smell or taste) or if any of your household has symptoms or is isolating. Maintain social distance throughout the ride, including at the start/finish and the café stop. Bring a facemask for use at the café stop.

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.
