Edit.....see below.
I have mentioned that my son runs the Star Inn in West Leake.
He has not had a bike for a while so not ridden that area but now has a hard tail.
He tells me he has read about a 19 mile loop that goes near the pub.......part road/part off.
He wants me to take my bike so we can do it........BUT from this week I will only have a hybrid (Whyte Stirling) so worried the route may not be suitable.
I have tried Mr Google without success.
Any CCrs know that loop?
Any comments?
Edit
I think I have found it......"the West Leake hills". 30 Kl. The desription is "boggy in parts" which worries me.

Stop worrying. People from the Rough Stuff Fellowship have been riding narrow-tyred road bikes off road for decades. On a hybrid you'll be fine.

Sorry Dave forgot about this .We are all road riders and all 3 if us are unaware of this loop so will be unable to advise about the surface . I can't imagine anything too rough as Im thinking it will be bridleways . We have all riden a rough track near Gotham for a veloviewer square and we did this on road bikes

Not sure about this specific route but the track from West Leake up Fox Hill onto the West Leake hills and along them towards Thrumpton should be OK on a hybrid. There may be a few sections where you have to pick your line rather than just hammering through.
