This ride is part of our Winter Miles Summer Smiles challenge where those who take part in four rides with Horwich Ride Social will receive a small cycling related gift.Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start time for a quick safety check.

Starting from Luciano's we will ride along the lanes of Rivington, picking up some rougher tracks to White Coppice, then follow the stream to Brinscall. A climb up and a long whizz down towards Wheelton, where we will stop form warm drinks and snacks. The return route follows the canal part way and other tracks before rejoining the canal and wending our way back to the start.

Please ensure your bike is in good working condition. Check your gears and brakes at least the night before.
We request that everyone wears a helmet for safety anyone not wearing a helmet will be unable to join us on the ride. Spare inner tubes, tyre levers, pump, a lock and some cash for the cafe stop would be advisable.

Horwich Ride Social Ladies is open for anyone to join. If you have not completed a ride participant form previously for one of the HRS rides, please download one from https://horwichridesocial.org at least 48 hrs before the ride.

Photos will be taken during the ride which will be shared on social media. If you do not wish your photo to be taken, please advise a ride leader before the ride.
First-timers welcome!

A wonder along lanes and tracks

Mostlyoff road, some quiet lanes and short streteches on busier roads
