Clapham, Eldroth and Tosside from Whalley

May the fourth be with you – a Star Wars weekend trilogy Clapham, Eldroth & Tosside – 60 miles Part of our mid week ride series, join us today as we ride on one of my favourite rides. Every now & then I come across a road that leads me to a new cycling heaven. The strange thing is that I often pass these kind of roads by for years in search of greater things. Eldroth was a true gem of a find for me several years ago and now I can’t ride this road enough. It is stunningly beautiful with a village hall dating back to Henry V11 times. I just love riding around this area. A front loaded ride today with 40 miles before our cafe stop. I've found Clapham to be a little on the expensive side so opt for the much better option of the Tosside cafe. If we crack on a little we should be ok but you may want to take a snack along and we'll stop in Clapham just for a 5 minute breather. A couple of little climbs but nothing too taxing and the rewards are some excellent quiet lanes showcasing our lovely county at it's finest. There's a regular group riding these mid-week rides, we're a friendly welcoming bunch who encourage each other on the tougher sections. There's always room for more riders, why not come along and join us, you may just enjoy the morning. Kev
