Hi Wheelers, another adventurous drive and ride as we are planning to follow the Transpennine trail and enjoy the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. We are meeting at the Barnbow at 9am for car sharing or at Penistone at 10am.
****************************
9am -meet at Barnbow
10am – Penistone (what3words ///haystack.crabmeat.download)
Distance -32 miles, saddle time approximately 5-6 hours max.
Terrain- mixture of gravel, rock, wood
Bike suitability-mostly former rail line so off road capable bikes should be fine. There is a short section of 1/2 mile where cycles will need to be walked – definitely off road tyres.
Snacks – Cafe stop at Padfield – recommend some ready eats to be carried.
Note- Can you do a pre-ride check of your bike for faulty/worn/loose components in time so any issues can be resolved please.
PS don’t forget your helmet!
Estimated finishing time – 5pm
