This circular road ride leaves Horwich and heads over towards Longton before returning anti-clockwise.

Most of the roads are quiet country lanes but we do encounter a couple of trunk roads for brief spells. The elevation gain is 1950ft which is all at the front and back end of the route. You certainly need to have some energy in reserve for the last 8 miles or so.

With this in mind, please ensure you bring snacks, a sarnie, and enough drinks as there won't be anywhere for us to stop although we can get a takeaway coffee at a glamourous location, lol, halfway.

Although not deemed essential, helmets are required on all Horwich Ride Social rides. Please bring personal PPE, innertubes, tyre levers etc to ensure you are self-sufficient. Oh and don't forget your sense of humour, you'll need it!

Don't say no until you've had a go!
