I am volunteering my time to accompany any new riders , or any riders in general that may want to spend an hour practise riding completing a left turning circuit of Stokes Valley.
As an over view the route commences at the third street [ie Glen Road] on the left after you enter Stokes Valley, then with continuous left turns and u-turns all the way to the top end of Stokes Valley. From the top end it is a return to the valley entrance, rounding the round-a-bout re-entering the valley and then taking the first on the left, following the same routine, to continue left turns and u-turns which will bring you back onto Stokes Valley Road, this will be at the intersection of Stokes Valley Road and the second street [James Grove] on you left after entering the valley.
This circuit is quite good, there is a gradual increase in the riding challenge, and a good measure will be, to not put a foot down, at other than intersections.
The whole route is approximately 26km, and by the way that’s how far it is into Wellington, and allowing 40 to 60minutes to complete the circuit.
On conclusion of the circuit a short ride up through Silverstream – Blue Mountains Road and to the Short Straw Café at Whitemans Valley will be an option.
Gathering Point
Stokes Valley – entering from round-a-bout there is a parking area immediately on your left back from the bus stops.
Time
9.00am
Please send a PM during the week and I will arrange to meet you at the entrance to Stokes Valley. The 9.00am start time is flexible.
(I am happy to accompany any rider on other days as arranged.)
Heads Up and Enjoy
