1000 Smiles

I started cycling in July 2025, shortly after that I started using Komoot offline for route planning. In September 2025 I set myself the goal of a 1000 miles in a year, and started keeping a spreadsheet. This ride puts me on 1020, but also means I've gone from 0…

Wouldn't recommend part of this route:It started going wrong from the canal exit south, where you can't get the bike through a style. Then Southards Lane into the woods turns into MTB. Lots of fallen trees across the path. Think a better alternative is to go further east get off the Canal at Netherthorpe
