The Wakefield Wheel is a 38 mile circular route that has a larger radius than the Wonders of Wakefield (WoW). Whilst it shares some of the WoW routing, between Pugneys’ CP and Nostell NT, the other 3/4 of the Wheel route is seperate. The surface varies from muddy path, through uneven trail and everything else up to a bit of smooth tarmac (some minor roads – excluding potholes of course). If you like a challenge, you could do this on a gravel bike but some form of XC or Trail bike would be way more comfortable. Not really for beginners as we’d expect to take up to 5 hours with the cafe stop 1/2 way around. Bring repair kits and inner tubes, if you use them.
Oh, by the way, water on some bits is inevitable and if its drained off, it’ll still be sloppy. Come along prepared for these conditions and we’ll have a great ride.
Parking at Nostell NT is £5 for the day for non-members.
