ショスクームのおすすめランニングルート

Update April 2025 - the craters have now been filled in with hard pack gravel. Very much rideable on a road bike of any tyre size without needing to be too concerned about punctures.

It is a great walk, is an easy flat, and has great views

The tunnel lights were designed so you can see while not disturbing the bats. People using bright lights risk disturbing the bats and blinding other users. While you may feel using lights improves your ability to see and be seen they distract other users making it more difficult to see walkers, dogs etc.

The tunnel lighting was upgraded in late 2023 and you can now easily see other riders, runners or pedestrians, so you do NOT need dazzling front lights any more. In the interests of safety and to avoid accidents PLEASE dim or dip your light when in the tunnel!

After Midford this quickly becomes hard packed gravel. Safe and relatively comfortable to ride on any road bike. Several gates to pass through, watch out for craters on the path.

Wellow Ford. Goes without saying this can flood and become impassable for bikes.

It is doable on any road bike (including 25mm tyres) as long as you choose your lines well. I've ridden it multiple times without punctures and no stone chips either (18mph or so). Surface has gotten more and more cratered over the years but is well compacted (not chattery) and safe to ride. Several gates to pass through along the way.

New lights in the tunnels as of 2023! Much better lit now in both tunnels.
