Burscough Twin Lakes, Let's Ride through Winter

This is a ride devised by Michael Holt.
We start from the car park of the Farmers Arms and then head out through Rufford, Mawdesley, Eccleston, Ulness Walton and Bretherton.
We will make a stop at the Twin Lakes Velo Cafe for lunch.
The return will be through Croston, Mawdesley, Bispham Green, Hilldale, Hoscar and back to the Farmers Arms, where I hope you will stay for a social drink or 2.
We'll ride at a steady pace of 10 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together.
Remember, this is not a race, but a leisurely ride at a pace to suit the slowest in the group!
Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, helmet & lights checked and ready. Please ensure you have a pump and a couple of spare tubes in case of punctures and a good secure lock.
It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you.
Please be at the start point at least 15 mins before the ride start time, ready to ride, so that we are able to get away at the stated start time

This route was originally designed by Michael Holt and travels around a quiet and scenic area of West Lancashire

We will endeavour to utilise minor roads and quiet country lanes as far as is practicable

Lunch will be at the Twin Lakes Velo Cafe
