If you want to stretch your climbing legs a bit more, this is the ride for you. It is a great next step if you’re comfortable with rides such as “Damflask loop x3”. The ride starts with a steady climb up Loxley Road before passing the Nag's Head and to the right of Damflask Reservoir. While the Damflask group turn left to Low Bradfield, we’ll continue up the hill to High Bradfield. Here we’re rewarded with fine views across Loxley Valley before passing through the village and up another shorter but slightly steeper hill. After some more gentle climbing the road bends to the left at a junction, where we continue straight on up a final climb to the top of the hill. We then swoop down some lovely curving lanes that take us back to the descent to Low Bradfield, passing Agden Reservoir on the way. Back in Low Bradfield we’ll stop for coffee and cake and (hopefully) meet up with the group doing the Damflask Loop ride. We then have an easy ride back to the start point. Although there is quite bit of climbing in this ride, we’ll take it steady and stop for breathers whenever we need to. If you need to walk up any of the steeper bits, that is fine – we won’t leave anyone behind.
