I'm guessing the one on the Nottingham Embankment, Meadows side opposite Wilford Village. If it is the one Mark normally does it's out via Bunny and over Ab Kettleby and left at the top. Nothing like the Long Eaton one Shocked

Have just received a text from Mark about ride.

Ok... Some riders have expressed an interest in riding the Vale of Belvoir reliability route on Sunday 11th Feb. Everyone welcome to have a ride round the 65 mile (approx) route. Not an official ride, but has been an annual get together for some years.

Route is as usual and will be posted on here if possible, otherwise route will be given on day as well as maps.

Times starting off for slow/steady group is 9am and for fast group is 9.15am. Ride starts off at the Wilford toll/cycle bridge at begining of the trent embankment in Nottingham.

Any donations for tea and cakes at the finish with be given to Nottingham Air Ambulance.

Hope to see you all there Mark.

End of text.

Can't find them on the map, sorry.
