Is that accurate or not?
Google maps gives a just over 4 mile distance to Meadowhall by road (a fair few minor roads not the car route) and a generous 10mph speed considering it's downhill all the way, is the signposted route suggested the one that goes all the way around the golf course?
From where the signs are i could by road in @ 15 minutes to M/hell, maybe 30 to Rotherham centre. The route they take you goes out around the airport then along the canal tow path, 30 minutes to 'hell would be about right, to Rotherham not sure which way they take you but i'm guessing something similar to Brinsworth so 40 mins quite doable. The return however is mostly uphill......
