Little & Large Ride

Little & Large ride Please note earlier start time of 09.30 No, sorry, not Syd & Eddie - This is a chance for all of you who would like to try a social ride, but you're not sure. Can you keep up? Will you be fast enough? etc, etc. The truth of the matter is........It's a social ride, it doesn't matter, we've all been where you are now & we gave it a try - so can you! We've done the ride in two parts, the first is a gentle 24 miles from Longridge through some beautiful countryside and around Stonyhurst College & on to Chipping where you will soon discover what social cycling is all about: Tea. coffee, cake, chat, a giggle, more cake & more laughter. Then it's back to Longridge. That's the Little. For a lot of us, that will be enough, but some are doing a hilly charity ride in June, so they will then go up & over Beacon Fell and looping around and back to Longridge doing another 20 miles. That's the Large. This will be a really enjoyable day out with a great group of cyclists and will be a lovely ride with something for everyone. We'll ride at a steady pace of on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together & have a really pleasant ride. Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready. Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone. It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you.
