Pedaling to Pennington

Join Helen and Taz on this varied hybrid ride to Pennington Flash and back.
We will travel through Borsdane Woods and use roads, canal tow paths and trails to visit Pennington Flash where we will stop to refuel. Please bring something to eat and drink or pennies to purchase these at the cafe. This is especially important as the most of the elevation on this ride is on the return journey so we will need our strength! The route on the way back does involve quite a few busy roads which we can tackle together as a group.

If you have not completed a ride participant form previously for one of the HRS rides, please download one from https://www.horwichridesocial.org/sites/default/files/2024-01/Cycling%20UK%20New%20Club%20Participant%20form%20%281%29.pdf
and email it to [email protected] before the ride.

Ensure your bike is in good working condition. 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 bring spare inner tubes, bike levers and a pump. A lock is advisable for the café stop.

Photos will be taken during the ride which will be shared on social media. If you do not wish your photo to be taken, please advise a ride leader before the ride.
First-timers welcome!
