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. | |
