Off to visit the pieman

An early evening blast over the valley to Egerton, setting off from Moss Bank car park.

As always a pick and good mix of roads/paths. There has been a modification to the pre-existing route that takes in some forest trails. The terrain is a mix of tarmac, uneven and sometimes wet stony trails and sandy/pebbly cyclepaths.

Please be aware there are one or two steady inclines just over the halfway point. They don’t last long and if need be, you can always get off and push. There may not be a refreshment stop on this route so please equip yourself with plenty of drinks and a snack along with plenty of tissue, anti-bac wipes and gel.

Although helmets are only recommended by law and not deemed to be essential, anyone not wearing a helmet will not be able to join the ride. Please be self-sufficient and arm yourself with spare inner tubes, bike levers and pump.

Please note the average cycling speed will be 7-8 mph. Any questions please feel free to message us at www.facebook.com/horwichridesocial or through this page on the lets ride site.
