I've got that Singletrack magazine too, I used to ride the Ticknall/Calke/ Reservoirs bridleways about 15 years ago when my brother lived in Ashby, I'm in Notttingham and regularly rode out from Clifton to Gotham and East Leake too, spent a lot of this winter riding in the dark along the Trent and Beeston canal.
I did a nice loop on my Cross bike last year, would be happy to guide you around it, mainly good surfaces, it's just the Clifton-Barton bit that gets gloopy, and with a bit of road work we could divert round that.

Parking is available at Attenborough nature reserve, good cafe.
Fancy it?
Would love to join your evening rides but this Tuesday I am on the Beeston CC chaingang. :?

@Gump - we usually meet at 7pm, though if you're going to be a bit late we can wait if you know what sort of time you will get here. Usually we ride from Ticknall - mainly because there are so many different bridleways that we don't have to do the same route twice ever! And there's a good pub in the village afterwards 
Sometimes we ride Sherwood Pines, too. Looking to head out to Charnwood soon (maybe tomorrow). Would be great if you could join us If it's 45 mins for you then it's about the same as from here to Cannock
@Velocitizen - yes that sounds great - we should take you up on your offer sometime

Ohh, the eerie crags of Charnwood. I would have liked to do that one. :cry:
@Gump, Ticknall is also 45mins from Nottingham but definately worth the travelling for the company and the endless permetations
@Velo, could you lead that as a night ride?
@Ed I like your new @ sign thing, very down with the kids
