Carmels Chaser

Heading off from Rivington we take the country lanes and a couple of minor roads up towards Brindle and its surrounding villages before arriving at Bamber bridge for a quick rest stop. Once hydrated, we continue on towards Clayton Brook and return passing through the villages of Chorley on this circular route. There are a number of steady inclines on this route but don't let this put you off.

Although helmets are only recommended by law and not deemed to be essential, anyone not wearing a helmet will not be able to join the ride. Please be self-sufficient and arm yourself with spare inner tubes, bike levers and pump. Don’t forget your pennies for the café stop. Please ensure you bring along a drink for the ride. Also check you brakes and gears on your bike at least the night before.

Due to Covid, if the Govt restrictions are still in place, it is essential that all ride participants carry their own PPE, that is mask, anti bac gel/wipes and tissues. First aid consumables will be provided by the leader but you will need to self-medicate yourselves. In addition, punctures or any bike maint will need to be performed by you, but guidance at 1m with a face mask or 2m without will be provided.

Please note the average cycling speed will be 12-14 mph. Any questions please feel free to message us at www.facebook.com/horwichridesocial or through this page on the lets ride.
