If you were at last year's Mynd ride THIS IS A DIFFERENT MEETING POINT.
There is no car park charge.

:: Terrain: A bit of everything including a long road climb to start the day. Sorry. Open exposed moorland, the key word being EXPOSED.
Not particularly rocky,  very retro-rigid friendly,  long descents more than pay back the effort of the climbs.
|Like it says above, this is a fairly exposed ride, so be prepared.|

:: NO HELMET, NO RIDE

:: Route: This is a different route from last year, a figure of eight centred on the pub at Bridges. Total distance for the day is approx 20 miles split about 11/9 am/pm. Lunch at Bridges by popular demand.  Pre-ordering is essential and a menu will be posted two weeks before the ride. 

:: Directions: As stated above.   The car-park is opposite the pub.

:: Accommodation:Bridges has accommodation, and there is a Youth Hostel 3 minutes walk away.
