Go down the hill from Crookesmoor road cross roads. Follow the road round to the right at the bottom of the hill. Turn left then go past tesco infrimary road on your right. Go over the road with the trams on. Its one way stay in the left hand lane but turn right onto penistone road. I normally stay on the road but you can go on the pavement as there's a bike path. Dont turn left to NGH but next left and you go along this road parallel to Penistone road to avoid the Shalesmoor roundabout. Come back onto the main road by tunring right at Cornish Street then carry on following the road round past Riverside pub and onto Derek Dooley way. Veer left onto Saville street and go past the 24 hour tesco. Carry on along this long road - you go past the old steel works. Theres quite a big roundabout with traffic lights that once you get the hang of the lanes isn't too bad but the first time I got off and walked it round. You want to go straigh over. Carry on to Meadwohall. You'll get to a pedestrian bridge to meadowhall (on your right at a pedestrian crossing). Go over this and then turn left onto the bike path. Carry on along this. It'll take you past a bit of road works and then you'll get to the tram stop at Meadowhall. Go over the bridge (walk over the tramlines then theres a bridge). At the bottom of the bridge you're onto the canal and follow the signs to Rotherham (left at the bottom). the signs are quite good from here. Once you get to the big football stadium in Rotherham carry on past it with it on your left. Turn right at the end of the road the stadium is on and you'll be ona  road called main street (ignore the map bit here telling you to go in a loop back to main street as its trying to get you to go one way)with a club called Hedonism or something infront of you.  Turn right and you should see a sign for Moorgate/Rothervalley park with a bike on it - basically follow these.(  It will take you left up a steep one way road called Wilfred street) You need to end up on Moorgate road - keep cycling up this you'll go past somewhere called Woodside NHS  but keep going as the hospital is furtehr along Moorgate road!
