Out of the discussions on the 2016 Cannock Turkey Twizzler, a follow-up event.
The first:
Cannock Fools Gold Ride
Spirit and ride in line with the Turkey Twizzler, but at the start of April, an ideal final training ride prior to tapering for HONC 2017 (on the 9th April).
:: Date: Saturday 1st April 2017
:: Distance/time: 18 miles or so spread out over a day's riding with plenty of stops, moaning and banter. Several short cut options available too.
:: Meeting at: Birches Valley Car Park (£4 for the day) Cannock Chase. Please arrive by 10 a.m. for a 10.30 a.m. start.
:: Directions: Postcode: WS15 2UQ
:: Terrain: Forest trails, mainly man made. Snow, ice and pools of stinking mud with occasional outbreaks of sunshine.
:: Route: The main ride will be the 'Monkey Trail' which we should complete by mid afternoon.
Food and drinks once back at the carpark.
After a stop for food we always say we we'll head off for some more riding and perhaps a bit of off piste stuff. We probably won't though depending on the quality of the old bicycle tat (quality Retrobike parts) on display.
