This route leaves the Arts Tower and winds past scenic city parks to the western edge of the city. It follows the Ringinglow Road, past the Norfolk Arms into the awesome Peak District National Park. You will build city cycling confidence with the support of Pedal Ready's experienced cycle instructors. Riders will reach Sheffield’s absolute gem; the vista of Stanage Edge from Burbage Bridge. The ride then loops back to finish at the Edge. The full ride is approximately 13 miles and roams over some steep hills, so a high level of fitness will be required. The attached image of the outbound route is approximate and may change at the ride leader’s discretion.
Cycling is an inexpensive way to travel and its fitness benefits are a revelation. Riders are encouraged to dress sensibly.
University hybrid bikes are available to borrow for this event. Contact parking@sheffield.ac.uk prior to the ride to check the availability of a suitable bike/helmet. Riders are encouraged to dress sensibly and wear sunscreen if it's hot.
