Any good?

I'm up that way on a training course with work next week and might try and squeeze in a cheeky after work ride on the way back to the hotel/before driving home ride Friday morning...

Not challenging, easily done on a Hybrid, but can be Ok fun if you put some effort into maintaining pace, The Bossnut in your sig would be a bit too much bike.

Thanks for the info Oxo, that's pretty much what I thought from what I have heard of the place.

That's pretty much what I was thinking Rook, just seems a waste to not try and take advantage of the kid-free evenings! Anywhere else in the area you would suggest?

It's okay for somewhere to ride if your in the area. It's very flat, it isn't at all technical but it's nice flowy single track... which makes it popular with families which means bikes/tantruming kids/dogs/push chairs/kitchen sinks etc will be abandoned at random on the trails.
Infinitely better than a hotel room though. Greno/Wharncliffe woods are about 30-40minutea north if you fancy something a bit more tech.

Hey Roo, thanks for the info.
Is it unofficial trails in the woods or is it waymarked?

Roo76 · February 2017

Greno is waymarked proper surfaced trails, have a look at ride sheffields fb page theres some trail closures coming up. Wharncliffe is a bit more follow your nose. There used to be a marked trail there a few years back not sure if any still exists. (The fc pulled the plug on funding/building)
