April 16, 2023,Five Weirs and a Puncture

This ride is around The Five Weirs Walk in Sheffield. I cycled into Sheffield from Rother Valley, did the Five Weirs Walk, and then cycled back towards Chesterfield along the roads. Normally I prefer the countryside, but I've seen this trial for a while so I thought that I'll try it.
