Rides

At Spoke we are always looking to get out on our bikes and enjoy the local riding. But with the poor quality of road surfaces in some areas of the County we have increasingly embraced the gravel, going back to the old skool, rigid mtb trail riding of the '90s before the split into North Shore and Gravity and Trail and Jumps and Downhill and Enduro and X Country!  

With the help of some of our experienced off roading friends we have begun to put together a series of routes graded in difficulty, length, terrain and elevation together with our personal riding notes from the trails themselves. They are yours to enjoy.

SPOKE ROUTE 4

A good few hours on the bike starting out east and dropping down into Bramfield before turning north through Walkern and circling round the back of Stevenage. The ride back south takes you through Fisher's Green and on to Whitwell before arriving back at HQ. A ride for the more navigationally-savvy but worth it for the quality of the trails.
