You've been asking all year and now here it is...the monthly long ride to the home of Lord Byron and some peacocks...Newstead Abbey!
Meeting at the cafe outside the Pavilion at Forest rec (watch out for the parkrunners!), we'll head out on some twisty, windy back streets before hitting some great bike paths (Sustrans route 6) all the way up through Bulwell and into Bestwood Village. The route takes us past Hucknall and into Newstead for a well-deserved cafe stop and to admire the medieval abbey and grounds in all it's glory! Once rested and refreshed, we'll head back to the city along some repeating and also new cycle paths.
Our monthly long ride is for the more improver cyclist as the distance is longer and the terrain a tad more challenging. Please also note that this ride does not include access to the Abbey or gardens, just the cafe and the outside area in front of the big house.
We welcome women of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, we ride at the pace of the slowest rider, stop for breaks whenever you want and promise you will never be alone at the back!
MEETING POINT: Outside the Forest Rec Pavilion (cafe). Click here for a google pin.
