Some more information about Clumber Park. Anyone who is not a member of the National Trust entering the park by car has to pay (£3.50 I think) even if they are with a member. Anyone who wants to avoid this should enter along the minor road from Carburton, pass through the old gate pillars and just over the bridge to a rough parking area on the right where a side track with a wooden barrier leads off (OS 120, Mansfield and Worksop GR: 615 736). From there cycle past the barrier on tarmac for a few minutes and swing right to the ornamental bridge (which was badly vandalised in March) and meet the other riders there shortly after 9:30am.
A couple of people have said they might join the ride at Tuxford which would make a round trip of roughly 30 miles. We should reach there 10:30-11:00am. I can recommend the Chilli Petals café there which is on the road which goes sharp right off the right-angled bend in the centre of the village. There is street parking on that road.
The route is mostly on tarmac but has a lengthy (10 miles each way) stretch of old railway line.
Whatever your plans, please let Mary know so we know who to expect and where.

The section of the B6521 from Grindleford to Eyam is still open for pedestrians and cyclists

Steve WAfter a bit of thought I’ve tweaked my ride for tomorrow and it will now be a more manageable 46km and 700m of ascent. Let me know if you are planning to join us (me plus one}
I can’t walk this Thursday but will be riding from the same starting place at 11:00am. If anyone wants to join me the route is all on roads, 60 km and 930m of ascent. Café stop in Tideswell. Back about 3:00pm
Cheers
