The Nelson Ride

The weather was fine, very windy and slightly cold last night as 8 cyclists took part in the 7pm ride from the Lord Nelson public house in Burton Joyce.

We rode down stoke lane through severn trent permissive paths to the River Trent, which we followed through to Colwick park, round the back of the new glass apartments onto Trent Lane, we then made our way round to Ladybay bridge and over the river, two Riders rode down the stone staircases to the back of Nottingham Forest Football ground. 

The next stage took us all the way to the Wilford Toll bridge near the Ferry Inn pub, we went over the bridge, made our way onto bird cage walk and through to lenton, where we dropped down onto the Beeston canal and back into Nottingham.

The return journey from Nottingham went through Sneinton up Carlton Hill, at the top we turned left onto Stand hill Road and then cut through the walk ways onto Porchester Road, we followed Porchester Road to the top Woodborough Road junction.

We then turned right and cycled along Mapperley Top to Chartwell Heights passing the Bread and Bitter public house along the way. From the Chartwell Heights we ventured down a walk way on to Spring Lane and headed towards Lambley and the last leg of our ride.

The last leg back to Burton Joyce was via a right turn onto a bridleway, across the main road and back to the Lord Nelson for a well earned pint.

Everyone enjoyed the ride and we all look forward to next weeks ride which will be announced next Tuesday, details will be put on this tuesday club Blog.

Look forward to seeing you, all welcome.
