Cycle Steps
1. Starting off in Ravenstone, riding through Swannington out towards the start of the cloud trial cycle route, which then take you all the way into Derby, it's part of route 6 of the national cycle network. Mainly old train lines and canal banks. Suitable for all types of bikes but may be a hybrid would be best as there is some loose gravel sections. I normally go there and back which normally take 4 hours at a steady pace and including any breaks it's about 40 milles round trip.
Landmarks/Sites to see?
