Starting promptly at 9am. aim to be there for 8.45 for a quick bike check and intro. From Wallsuches (Curleys Fisheries) the ride takes up Georges Lane onto Matchmoors leading us into the Smithills Estate were we make our towards the pop up cafe, so dont forget your pennies. A good catch up with other groups and the obligatory beverage and optional cake then its back to our starting point.
The surfaces we are riding on are varied from tarmac to gravel to loose stone, it is a MTB ride after all. Its not a technical ride but a moderate level of fitness is required for the climbing.
Although its not mandatory Horwich Ride Social apply a no helmet no ride approach. As always we cannot guarantee the weather so please dress appropriately. This is strictly a MTB ride so please dont turn up on a hybrid or gravel as these are not suitable.
