B Route – Average Speeds for this group can vary depending upon who is there on the day.  It is strongly recommended that you are able to navigate the route yourself in case the group splits so please come prepared.  Historically the average speed on routes heading south (flatter) have been 12/13mph and 14/15 mph. They are a bit lower when the route heads north (hillier).  Please communicate with others at the start and decide if the group is going to split straight away to a higher and a lower paced B ride.  Even if you stay as one group or divide up it is a good idea to reassemble after the first few miles and check that everyone is happy with the pace. 

B Route – 43 miles long, 2,804 ft elevation, heading out Sides Lane, Ellastone, Denstone, Hollington, Uttoxeter, Marchington, Tutbury, Cafe at SB or NB, Marston Montgomery, Roston, Snelston, Clifton
