A ride out through the Forest of Bowland to the Yorkshire Dales for lunch, using some of the national cross country cycle routes. Alternative places are available on the group website: https://busstopbikers.co.uk/event/airton-and-settle-from-billington/

A mixture of quiet roads, country lanes, cycleways and a short section of canal towpath.

Lunch will be taken at the Town End Farm Cafe in Airton, with the option of a second stop.

Helmets are always advisable, but not compulsory. Lights should not be necessary, but emergency lights are always a good idea. Cash or card will be required for lunch. As usual please carry emergency tools and puncture repair kit, together with an emergency snack. Participants are responsible for social distancing and hand hygiene where appropriate.

We never leave anyone behind
