Super sunny tram assisted ride


A super sunny ride to Renishaw Hall on the TPT, with picnic, tram-assists for many and only one broken chain, but plenty of home made brownies and flapjack.

A great turn out of kids on their own bikes, on seats, tag alongs, tandems all very excited by chocolate coin hunts, jet skiing show offs and the opportunity to whizz along in a wonderfully wack races-like fashion along a great traffic-free route. They all coped very well with a few hundred metres of busy road too and the adults all tolerated the moving feast that was the picnic. How could anyone ever say a bunch of feasting cycling gannets could make somewhere look untidy ...

Next ride on the 17th May from Grassmoor .... more details in the coming weeks

April Ride - with tram option ...











The next Sheffield Family Ride has the option of a tram assisted start on Sunday April 19th. Meet at 09:45 @ Sheffield Cathedral to catch the tram or meet us at 11.00am Rother Valley CP Cafe.

The destination for the ride is Renishaw Hall whether you catch the tram, cycle out to the Park or park there.

The tram option is great fun for kids - putting your bike on trams is not allowed on everyday trams. The costs for the chartered tram are:
Adult + bike return £5
Child + bike return £2

The ride from the tram stop to the Park is mainly on off-road through housing, but there are bits of on-road. The route from the Park is on traffic-free routes, apart from the last bit to the Hall.

Pic-nic at the halfway stage as usual. Look forward to seeing you all.
