Building up the Miles

This is the first of a series of rides where we are aiming to build our speed, confidence and stamina in preparation for the Breeze Challenge Event. We are planning to progress by building up the miles gradually over the coming weeks, and get used to riding distance without the cafe stop ( Boo!). We'll be riding at a brisk pace and then have the a refreshment stop at the end which is optional. We will start at our usual point in Pennington Park, from here we'll take a few local roads to join up with the East Lancs Cycle Path. We'll ride down to Carr Mill Dam, have a short drink and snack stop before heading back. We'll follow the cycle path to Stonecross and then onto some quiet local roads down to the Canal towpath and back to Pennington Park. Once here, we'll call into the tea rooms for a well earned cuppa and possibly cake, I'm sure we'll have earned a slice or two! As we are not having our usual cafe stop, it would be useful to bring a snack i.e banana, cereal bar or your usual snack and a drink.
