Going for a Wiggle in Wigtwizzle…..
What a great name for a piece of woodland – Wigtwizzle, I love it already and that’s before the fine folk of Sheffield City Council build a brand new bridleway through it. Where’s Wigtwizzle you might ask, as I did when Ride Sheffield HQ sent me on a mission to check out the proposed route for the new trail. Well it’s here and I had the pleasure of walking the new route just as summer officially ended and the heavens opened. However, who cares about being soaked to their underpants if it means we’re going to get a new trail. (more…)

AGM: Update
While we have always had a big meeting in the run up to Christmas, that serves as a bit of a social and quiz; as well as us letting you know what has been going on and giving you a chance to chat to people from the SCC ROW team, Eastern Moors, Wildlife Trust etc. We have also held an AGM for the past two years ever since we became a constitutionalised organisation. While this has always been a more low key event, we thought that as there is a lot more going on with Ride Sheffield we would do a little more this year. (more…) -
Response from Derbyshire County Concil to our letter
So following the post below about our approach to DCC we have now had a response from them. As expected it’s not exactly positive unfortunately and we’re currently thinking how best to try and move forward with this. Any sensible suggestions then please let us know!
Lots of other councils do consult on works, especially large/important ones so it is clearly possible to do so and I think the work we have done with Sheffield City Council shows that it can be very useful.
We’ll continue to keep you all informed as we try and get something moving with DCC.

Ride Sheffield approach Derbyshire County Council
Following the work that Derbyshire County Council carried out on Stanage earlier this year with very little consultation prior to the work being carried out we felt it was right to approach DCC officially to request that they use Ride Sheffield to communicate and consult with mountain bikers on future works and general rights of way matters.

Nutcracker XC MTB Race at Parkwood Springs
While we all know that Sheffield mountain biking is going from strength to strength at the moment, a sure sign of a vibrant scene is lots racing going on. The ever popular Steel City Downhill had its third race this year, Stilettos on Wheels had its second race at Rother Valley Country Park and Midlands XC have been using the excellent course at Birchall to the south of Sheffield.But now we finally have an XC race that is a little closer to home; and you dont get much closer to the centre of town than Parkwood Springs! Organised as part of the excellent Altura Nutcracker MTB series, it should be a great day out. If you don’t fancy racing, they are still looking for marshalls too.

New Bridleways!
OK, pick yourself up off the floor, I know it’s a shock. Those two words don’t coincide nearly often enough but that’s exactly what we’re going to get – new bridleways.

You might have noticed a few changes to Ride Sheffield over the past few weeks, not the lack of web updates or the fact that we have got a bit of a tan over the last couple of days! More that we have a new logo, which leads on to a couple of other changes too! (more…)
