The South Yorkshire village of Birdwell is situated just off Junction 36 of the M1, south of Barnsley and north/east of various parts of Sheffield, handily situated for access to the Pennine hills and Lincolnshire levels and the cycling conditions inherent to each.
In addition, while the locality is on the edges of traditional industrial and coal-mining areas, there is plenty of countryside all around, as well as key stretches of the Trans-Pennine Trail.
The club's regular meeting place is in Birdwell Community Centre. In relation to the nearest motorway junction (a handy landmark, even for those on bikes), is as follows:
The Centre is at the end of on Rockingham Street, which leads directly off the A61 as it passes through Birdwell. When open, lit and secure parking is available within the gates. On meeting nights, minibusses and transport for other Centre users will congregate around the main entrance while they are leaving and we are arriving, so take care of yourself and others.
Our meetings take place in a room to the left of the Centre, best accessible from the outside by following the building around to the left from the main doors, staying within the boundary fence.
