Secret Allotment Downhill Race

Lady Canning’s Trails Project: Crowd Funding Success leads to partnership with Go Outdoors
Launched last spring, Ride Sheffield’s Crowd Sourced funding for the development of trails in Lady Canning’s Plantation was rapidly taken to the hearts and wallets of local (and countrywide) riders.
