By Irwell Vale Railway Station in the car park. (free)

WE MEET AT IRWELL VALE! A varied but almost entirely traffic-free ride to Nuttall Park in Ramsbottom! With National Cycle Route 6 expanding, we can now get Irwell to Ramsbottom withonly a tiny bit of main road (at Stubbins). The rest follows bridleways and tracks! Parts can be muddy. The photos show the terrain (NOTE this route will NOT be going over Holcombe Moor! We get to photo marked "The road after Nuttall Park" and turn back.) You can view the route here: http://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3274423.html but again we go as far as mile marker 4, and turn back. This is a gentle ride suitable for all. Please note that the loos at Nuttall Park are randomly locked at odd times. There are cafes and loos in Ramsbottom too. Full-on carbon road bikes will struggle but any hybrid, mountain bike or city bike will be fine. We go at the pace of the slowest rider and aim to have fun! Please bring an inner tube suitable for your bike. Email [email protected] if you have any queries. Children welcome. Any issues let the ride leader know on 07595 873191 and we will look out for you.
