Copy of Nottingham and Derby Mountain Bike Off Road Loop
70 mile off road loop from Nottingham to Southwell, then Sherwood Pines, to Newstead, to Eastwood to Ilkeston to the River Trent back to Nottingham. 90% Off Road, Nothing technical mainly bridleways and route 6 sustrans route, plus a bit of Sherwood Pine and Southwell trail. I've ridden this route in 5hours before, in dry conditions but aim for a full day. Can get trains to and from a lot of the route if you want to cut short. Plenty of Cafes on the way. I ride it by mountain bike but can ride on commuter bike so long as it's pretty dry. A few hills but nothing horendous Once you get to Eastwood it's literally downhill all the way!by m4ttfletcher
