Across The Moors

Starting from The Cycle Surgeon workshop at 214, Turton Road, Bolton, BL2 3EE we head off via Hawkshaw, through Ramsbottom and on to NCR6 at Stubbins. At Haslingden we take Roundhill Road across the moors to Guide where we drop down into Lower Darwen. A short, steep off road climb, probably a push, takes us to Tockholes where we’ll take a well deserved cafe break. It’s then back along Belmont Road, over the dam and home. Hybrid or gravel bikes with all terrain tyres are recommended and this ride is classed as ‘challenging’ due to the climbing involved.

Rodger at Cycle Surgeon has generously offered coffee and use of toilet facilities at both the start and finish of the ride. If driving to the start point parking is available on adjacent streets.

Please arrive AT LEAST 15 minutes before the start time for a ride brief, bike check and
general introductions.
