Bank View Cafe (Grade 2)
Starts: 9:30 Depot Bakery Hillsborough Park
Leader: Gareth Dent 07792 899501
Meet at Depot Cafe in Hillsborough Park from 9.00 for a 9.30 start. Distance wise this is a grade one ride, but, true to form, the climbing bumps it into the middle of grade two. So it's ideal for anyone who fancies a ride out to test the legs and lungs, without staying out too long and getting cold. We go out over GreenMoor, with lunch at Bank View, still spotty after all these years, and then a return though Ewden Beck the easy (easier) way. 43kms, 784m ascent

Courtside Cafe, Hillsborough Park
Silkstone Common/Old Stables (Grade 2)
Starts: 9.30 Courtside Cafe Hillsborough Park
Leader: Tom Monaghan 07946 608898 (with Les Sturch)
Courtside Cafe in Hillsborough for a change, but also to attempt to reduce the Park Run weaving. Taking the A61 cycle path towards Herries Road, through Parson Cross up to Grenoside, where we will deviate from the Sheffield CTC groove in the road to Wortley by entering Greno Woods on the newly re-surfaced NCN 67 route taking us towards Burncross. We’ll snake through High Green to keep off the busy road, head towards Howden, Stainborough and onto the flat NCN 62 railway line for a cafe stop at The Old Stables Coffee Shop (nice cakes) at 14 miles. From here we head to Hood Green on the toughest section of climb, 14.2% but short and such a beautiful area you will never notice you are climbing. I believe this is part of the area The Guardian described as The Tuscany of the North. A bit more up to Wortley and then we’ll drop down Finkle Street (beware of the surface here, it’s fine with care). Then the NCN 627 (Plankgate) which should be fine in Spring, but for anyone who prefers not to take this section you are free to take the main road from Deepcar to Oughtibridge to meet up for the Upper Don Trail through Beeley Wood to finish at Hillsborough Park.
With ascent of around 640m this route is Grade 2 (but only 27ml) at a very gentle pace to keep it inclusive. I would recommend mudguards and tyres of at least 28mm for the off tarmac cycle paths. Not technical but might be grotty if wet.

Starts: 9.30 am Hunstone Avenue, Meadowhead Layby
Leader: Ken Alvey 07952 290032
This ride is at the top end of Grade 1 rides in both distance and elevation but just over a third of the ride is on off road trails along canal and old railway lines, so mostly flat. (Trains in this area did not have gradients higher than 3-4%) The off road sections are generally hard packed surfaces so will be ok for road tyres. From Meadowhead it is mainly down hill through Dronfield, Unstone to Old Whittington where we pick up the canal route through to Staveley. Then it is back on the roads to climb up to Clowne for our stop at Ashgate Coffee. After being fully revived we travel along the full 7 miles of the Clowne branch line before joining the old Midlands railway line heading north on the TPT finally returning to Sheffield centre at Castle Gate. Also I would politely ask, please don't use flashing lights within the group out of respect for others. 35 miles, 493m ascent

Starts 9:30 am Depot Bakery, Hillsborough Park
Leader: Ken Alvey 07952 290032
I had to have ride to the famous Spotty Cafe - the Bank view Langsett - painted with red polka dots of the 'King of Mountain jersey' for the when the 2014 Tour de France passed by. This is an entry level Grade 2 ride but taken at grade 1 pace. We head out up past Wadsley and Worrall climbing north above High Bradfield. We then have a downhill run to Broomhead Reservoir before tackling our steepest climb up to Bolsterstone then a gentle climb up Long Lane, before arriving at Langsett Reservoir and the Cafe. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. Afterwards a short sharp hill before we start the generally downhill run all the way back to Sheffield, enjoying the TPT and Don Valley Trail. Hard packed surfaces so ok for road bike tyres but you might before a gravel bike if you have one. 31 miles (49 km) 2,342ft (714m) of ascent.
I would politely ask, please don't use flashing lights within the group out of respect for others.
