Winter warmer
A short ride this time round. A great little loop that takes you out of Sneinton, across Lady Bay bridge then west to Holme Pierrepont. Past the flood defences sluice gate then round the end of the National Watersports Centre rowing course.
Big skies are guaranteed and a completely flat pedal largely off road. This would be so much better if the cyclist didn't have to cope with the rubbish junction where Daleside Road, Meadow Lane and Manvers Street Collide. There has been no thought given here to anything but car circulation, and any option involves a bit of danger- its challenging for experienced cyclists but really scary with kids.

Clifton Hall
On a crisp and sunny day we headed out to Clifton via the Beeston Canal, Victoria Embankment and Clifton Bridge cycle path to Clifton Village. There we paused at the allegedly haunted Clifton Hall now restored into flats by the former secret millionaire and more recently bankrupt Chek Whyte.
We returned along the bridleway at the top of the wooded escarpment that rises from the Trent at Clifton, with great views over Beeston and the Boots site. This made a great shortish winter ride, mostly off the road on smooth cycle tracks and bridleways.

Wolds and river ride.
A lovely 24 mile ride today took us out through the wold-like landscape around Lambley, Woodborough and Epperstone, to the north-east of Nottingham. We turned east to Gonalston, Hoveringham and Caythorpe, taking in the more open landscape of the Trent valley.
Beautiful blue skies and sunshine- sorry those who had to miss out!

Messing about in Colwick Woods
With the temperature in the mid 20s we headed for Colwick woods to find some of the less explored tracks. The woods often feature on our routes- it's great to ride through trees so close to the built-up areas around, but this is the first time we have spent time trying to connect the different parts together. It was shady, and we pretended to have skills.

Ride report from a new Sneinton Biker
"Brilliant Day. It was my first Sneinton Bikers cycle. I thoroughly enjoyed it and met some great people. I'd definitely recommend it to people, it's a great way to meet new people but also a brilliant way to see parts of Nottingham you would sometimes miss and keep fit!"

Sneinton Bikers meet on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month to take part in a group bicycle ride starting and finishing at Hermitage Square, in Sneinton, Nottingham, UK. New riders are always welcome: we tailor our rides to match the abilities and ambitions of those who turn up- the first ride each month tends to be more gentle, the second more challenging.
