Afternoon

So I find that I've got an overnight work trip to Sheffield tomorrow and was wondering if it was worthwhile taking the mtb on the train so I can have a ride round Parkwood Springs in the evening? Only a couple of km long but I hear that it fits quite a lot of entertainment into that distance.

Is it worth the hassle of the bike on the train or should I just go to the pub?

Thanks

Ah mountain biking with added peril! I can't decide if I like the sound of that or not.

Is the Rother Valley one within distance of the city centre.

Morning

So I decided to embrace my inner Jimmy McNulty and brave the badlands of Parkwood Springs. After somehow navigating across the maze of the city centre I rode up Rutland Rd at not far off walking pace and found the route. Did a few laps and didn't come across anything dodgy - a bloke walking his dog and some lads playing football at the top. Maybe I was lucky but a nice facility to have in a city.
