About this event

Join us for a super chill Sunday. Starting at Alvaston Park we’ll ride together along a wide scenic river path to Elvaston Country Park. After a bridleway loop around Elvaston we’ll stop for a well-earned cake and coffee at Wyatt’s. Then adventure back along the same river path to where we started.

The 14km route is flat and predominantly on smooth tarmac with some gravel and hard-packed mud around Elvaston Castle. All welcome, no drop, good vibes and good company.

Organized by

Social ride:

Our rides are social rides and not guided or instructed, this does mean you will be responsible for yourself and your bike. However, we will pull together if anyone needs help, no-one will ever be left behind.

Location:

Nottingham and Derby

Diverse Terrains:

Conquer gravel, canal paths, river trails, and maybe even a forest or two! Bumpy surfaces? No problem. We mix it up with varied routes, from smooth rides to fun mountain bike adventures.

Choose Your Ride:

Whether you fancy a short spin or a longer journey, we’ve got rides for all levels. As we grow as a community, the variety of rides will grow too.

Fuel Breaks with a Side of Cake:

Coffee and cake pit stops are a must. We refuel, chat, and maybe indulge in a bit of dessert therapy.

The Vibe: Fun, Friendly, and Welcoming:

No one gets left behind—it’s all about the joy of riding together. Our rides are more than cycling; they’re a social affair. Expect a friendly vibe, welcoming faces, many riders come solo and leave with new friends.
