Beeston Lock

Great stretch of canal from Nottingham City centre out towards Derby. you do get dog walkers but it's a great route out the city away from cars. perfect for a gravel bike but very much doable on a road or touring bike

Nottingham Sailing Club on the River Trent

The masses of sailing, rowing and dinghy racing throughout the spring and summer make this a cool stop-off point on a ride for a slightly view of the River Trent.

The cafe is members-only unfortunately.

Nothing heavy today, just a gentle stroll. Came across some awesome graffiti in Notts. Love the one with the face, that's art, some awesome talent there.

Roll on bank holiday. Couple of juicier rides in mind.
