We will head toward Bury on the designated cycle path and pick up the main road heading and inclining in nature towards Bolton. We will turn off right and continue to head towards Walshaw and then pick up the quieter, winding and ascending road towards Affetside. From Affetside we will descend and then turn left towards Harwood, dropping off at the cafe for a well earned drink and snack. We will then head back on the main road through Harwood and Ainsworth towards Bury and then pick up the cycle path back to the starting point.

A special ride to celebrate Tracey's achievement!

This is not a beginners ride. A short section of the ride is traffic free then we will be on main roads some with and without cycle lanes and then quieter more winding roads. There are some short steep inclines and descents and some longer inclines and descents but we will wait and catch our breath to ensure everybody gets up and down at their own pace.

We are planning a cafe stop at Cafe Twelve, Bradshaw Hall Fisheries and will stop to catch our breath after the hills.

Helmets are compulsory. Your bike should be in good working condition with its tyres pumped up appropriately. Please bring a spare inner tube sized for your bike and a pump, appropriate reflective clothing and lights as necessary and dress appropriately for the weather. Please bring money/card for the cafe stop and any snacks you may require on the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
