Please note this is Mixed Ride not Ladies Only.

Ride Leaders - Lesley Doxsey & Celia Rishton. Please note this ride is a Ladies only ride but it is being repeated on the 29th March as a Mixed Ride . Average Speed 8-10 mph. Elevation 1487ft Starting at Go Ape Rivington we head off out of Rivington towards Heath Charnock using quiet lanes. There is a short stretch on Preston Road but don't let that put you off as the group will be supported by two ride leaders. We continue mainly on lanes to our destination café stop at Cedar Farms where you have a choice of cafés and some lovely craft shops to browse in if you wish. We return along different lanes and some cycle trail sections with another busier road for a short stretch as we get nearer to Rivington ( Bolton Road) There are a few inclines to contend with but you can do those at your own pace.

Helmets are mandatory on all Horwich Ride Social rides , if you don't have one we can hire you one and a bike too. If you are not already a member of Horwich Ride Social then please email [email protected] before the ride for a form . Please bring a spare inner tube suitable for your bike and make sure it is in road worthy condition.

First-timers welcome!
