5 Pits, 12 riders, 1 cloud burst, 0 complaints ....

A great loop on the 5 Pits Way made for a damp but, enjoyable May family ride. Proof if proof were needed that a bit of rain never hurt anyone.

The kids loved it, but so did the adults ... although to be quite so cold in May was a 1st for some.

June ride details soon - 21st June - a sunny one perhaps?

May ride - 17th May ... Grassmoor Country Park

Sunday 17th May for a ride along the 5 Pits Trail from Grassmoor Country Park near Chesterfield. 10am for 10.30 departure.

See car park on map here. Note there is another car park on the northern side, but you want to come to the south eastern one that is bigger.

Some people had trouble last year, so we have marked the route to take on gmap pedometer - an amazing site for route planning.

Take A61 to Chesterfield and the A617 towards M1 and then follow above.
