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

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

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.
