Saturday 30th May 2015 10:30am

Starting from - Cafe Cargo Foulridge Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the “Ride Start Time” as we will always do a cycle and clothing check. The “Ride Start Time” is 10:30 am We always ride at a pace to suit the group, so don't be put off if you feel a bit nervous or rusty, we've all been there! I advise you to dress to suit the weather on the day. Its always a good idea to bring a drink with you. Helmets are not compulsory but I advise if you have one to bring it with you. A spare inner tube or repair kit is also a good addition to your kit. There will be a Coffee stop so bring some money if you want to buy drinks etc. If you have any questions please email [email protected] There is also a Breeze Network Pendle Facebook group which you can join. Links to future rides will be added to this group along with other useful information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/breezenetworkpendle/, BB8 7PP

Colne - Skipton - Colne The Ride is a circular route using "A" Roads. The turns are mainly left turns with a couple of right turns. Starting in Foulridge via Laneshawbridge, Cowling, Crosshills to Skipton and returning via Broughton, Thornton and Earby. The route takes us back to Colne and we then head off to Skipton via Laneshawbridge. There is a steady climb for about 4 miles. Your reward for getting to the top is you don't have to pedal much for the next 4 miles. There is a lay by at the top, every one can got at their own pace and the re group at the lay by. Once in Skipton well have a brew at the Boat House cafe before setting off back to Colne via Broughton and Thornton. There is a second climb into Thornton and again you go at you own pace. The group will regroup at the top of the hill.
