This is a fairly short but hilly route through the Wyre valley. it is best suited to a road bike but battery supported bikes are welcome.
We leave the Scorton picnic site and ride up the first main hill over Bleasdale within 2 miles . This is followed with a number of less challenging more undulating climbs and some steep descents and some stunning views.
After Chipping we have a long gradual climb up to Beacon Fell Country Park and some lovely descents into Scorton village and back to the start point.

A scenic hilly road ride around the Wyre area, starting from the car park at the Scorton picnic site. There are no toilets at the start point.

Mostly country lanes and B roads. Some hilly climbs and stunning views. Riding over Bleasdale hills and down through the villages of Oakenclough and Chipping where we will take a break. After that we have a long steady climb over Beacon Fell followed by some stunning descents into the village of Scorton and back to the start point

We will take a cafe stop in the village of Chipping

Helmets always required on HRS Breeze rides. Please be equipped with your own roadside repair items ie: puncture repair items, spare inner tubes and tools. Also PPE equipment in the event of minor accidents.

Please read the ride description and be confident that you can meet the mileage elevation and overall average speed so that we can keep the group together. If the weather is particularly hot please bring plenty of fluids and snacks.
