A muddy days Mountains Biking
A classic winter bike ride
in and around Thieves Woodjust a stones through away from Sherwood Forest...Full of mud and more mud. Normally an hours ride was an hour and twenty minutes.
Thieves Woodis situated between Derby Road (A611) and Nottingham Road (A60) just out side of Mansfield in Notts. It's an excellent link for a number of routes mainly leading to Sherwood Pinesand Sherwood Forest. With hard compact tracks and sandy singletrack it's an excellent summer venue, but as you will see in the winter that can soon turn to mud.

One of my favourite short routes is in a little bit of wood between Derby Road and Cauldwell Dam , near Mansfield. It joins a number of local routes between Newstead Abbey, Hucknall, Sherwood Forest, Kirkby and Sherwood Pines. Cauldwell Dam Descent doesn’t disappoint....
