New Year at Newbank

Come and welcome in the New Year on your bike as we nip to Newbank Garden Centre for a coffee and catch up. This ride is part of the Horwich Ride Social winter miles summer smiles campaign. You must be a member of HRS to take part. If you are not already a member then please email [email protected] for a new rider form before the ride.

Leaving the park behind we head off onto the paths and trails of the surrounding areas of Bolton and Bury. Soon to arrive at the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal where we'll meander along the towpath. Leaving the canal path we cycle on a main quiet road for approx. a mile to arrive at Newbank Garden Centre for refreshments.

After refuelling we will return via a main road onto to the newly laid cycle paths in Bury to pick up the cycle trails behind Bury Grammar School. Leading us to Ainsworth Road and back to Leverhulme Park. It is important you arrive 15 mins before the start time for a safety check.

Please ensure your bike is in good working condition. Check your gears and brakes at least the night before.
We request that everyone wears a helmet for safety anyone not wearing a helmet will be unable to join us on the ride. Spare inner tubes, tyre levers, pump, a lock and some cash for the cafe stop would be advisable.
