NO HELMET= NO RIDE


Newmillerdam. A country park with over 200 acres of woodland and history as far back as 1285. slmracing is our guide for the day as we wind through the park and merge with the ex-railway lines for an easy day in the saddle with some short burst climbs and root-hopping.

The food stop is the same location as the meet point. the plan is to grab some pub grub at the end of the ride due to the low mileage and to make the most of daylight as we will be saying goodbye to british summertime.

Most of the route is fairly sheltered but warm/dry clothing advisable considering time of year and trail snacks will keep us going until we arrive back at the pub.

By all means bring some stale bread for the ducks at end of ride. :)
 
quite close to M1 which, leads to almost all major motorways.

i'm looking forward to feeding the ducks! they are the competative types that fight all the way to the offerings. proper yorkshire ducks. :)
 
looking forward to this and it's my first attempt at leading a ride, I have rode this route many times it is steady away with some great scenery, perfect for the time of year :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
Any chance of moving this back a week (17th) as I'll be on my way back from Arran on the Saturday. :(

moving it back will be too disruptive for the calendar and home related plans.

however, talk of moving it to sunday 11th is on the cards should that be better for the majority. let's see how that develops and an update will be added asap.

cheers. ;)
 
Might be able to make the 11th, will have to sweet talk the missus though as we won't be home till Sat eve !!.
