Start of Loxley Road at the bus stop immediately after the pedestrian crossing/traffic lights.
This ride takes in some new ups and downs around Bradfield and Strines. We start by heading up Loxley Road and taking a left down Rowell Lane before tackling a steep climb up Spout Lane. From there we ride through Dungworth and across to Strines Moor. We'll drop back down Blindside lane then climb back up the western side of Agden Reservoir to Strines Moor again. Our route then takes us back to Low Bradfield via the eastern side of Agden Reservoir and then down the eastern side. We'll stop in Low Bradfield for coffee and cake before heading along the lane up the northern side of Damflask before taking a left turn that climbs up from Loxley Road and across to Long Lane, where we drop back down to Loxley Road and on back to the start point.
Although there are some challenging hills on this ride, we'll take our time and stop for breathers if we need to. It is also fine to walk up any of the steeper bits and we promise not to leave anyone behind.
