This is a brilliant route with a mix of road and gravel and canal tow paths. Amazing how much of the traffic free trails can be linked together with relatively few sections of road. This is an Audax gravel route so ideally not a road bike course but with the weather being dry no real problem on 32mm

Between Jumble lane and Grange lane, quite the cut through too
