| This is a relatively easy road ride in terms of physical endurance, as it is on mostly flat or gently undulating terrain. However, the road between Milton and Ticknall does incorporate a number of inclines. All of the route is on fairly small country roads, through beautiful countryside. It is relatively quiet most of the year, however, when Calke Abbey and Staunton Harold are open over the summer, traffic can be heavier in those areas. Given that it is an 'on-road' route, it is not perhaps the safest for young families or inexperienced riders. Whilst the route does pass through villages, there aren't any bike shops en-route so riders should be prepared with a basic repair kit, phone, water and first aid items. | |
