This is a 10 mile (Gentle) blast along the quiet B-road that rolls over Oswaldtwistle Moor. It has one steep hill and the rest is lovely and undulating, with cracking views over to Pendle. We will head to the Britannia Inn which has a tea-room serving snacks for about a fiver, and afternoon teas. Then back along the way we came. British Cycling members can find the route on the BC website as "Britannia Blast (Breeze Ride)". This ride is ideal for road bikes. Hybrids will be fine. Mountain bike riders will find it harder going - you might want to swap your tyres. The road is quiet and well-used by cyclists. This is a great next-step for the developing cyclist. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  Please be aware that on the tops it can be cold and windy - but dress in warm layers and you'll be fine. We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind Look forward to seeing you there.
