Chapletown And Belmont Road Loop

The route starts at the main entrance of Turton High School. From the school we will start with a testing climb up Chapletown Road passing Turton Tower and then take a left passing St Anne's church and the Chetham Arms pub. We'll then follow Greens Arms Road taking in views of Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs. The road continues to undulate until we meet up with Blackburn Road and we'll go downhill until we turn onto Longworth Road and up to and across the Reservoir back down Belmont Road to the junction of Blackburn Road and Crompton way turning up Tonge Moor Rd then Turton Rd back to school. The entire route is about 15.5 miles and the ride should take approximately 2 hours.

As with all Breeze rides we will always cycle at the pace of the slowest rider and we can guarantee lots of fun and laughter. Please note this ride does Undulate with a couple of challenging climbs so we would recommend some experience on hills, however, we are never to posh to push if a breather is needed!

There won't be a cafe stop on this ride, however please remember to bring a drink as we can stop for a quick rest and drink. Helmets must be worn by all under 18s regardless of ride level and are strongly suggested for all riders. Please bring equipment with you to repair punctures, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike and wear clothes suitable for the weather conditions on the night.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE WORKING FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS IN CASE WE ARE STILL OUT AS DUSK IS SETTING IN
