Rivi Rollers

A break from tradition due to all the Monday Bank Holidays in May, so running this ride on a Friday.

A lovely steady, undulating route to Rivington (don’t worry, we’re not going up Rivington!). None of the hills are too difficult and we will tackle these together, regrouping at the top. Total elevation: ~850 feet. We will be riding on cycleways and quiet roads, but we do cross Chorley along a stretch of busy road. There will be a coffee stop at the Rivington Village Green tearoom, so please bring cash/card if you wish to make a purchase. Once we have had our fill, we will return back to the start point at Charnock Farm.

Will be aiming to ride around 8-11 miles per hour, however we will ride to the pace of the slowest in the group and NO-ONE will be left behind.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the stated time to allow for faffage time, to ensure we can set off promptly at the advertised time.

Please check your bike over the night before, at least checking the gears, tyres and brakes.
Please also bring a correctly fitting helmet and the correct sized inner tube for your bike if possible. Recommend to bring a drink and snack.

This is a community group ride, not a guided ride. Although I am an experienced group rider and have ridden the route before, I have not risk assessed it and am not a qualified leader or first aider. I will happily assist with any issues to the best of my ability, but please ensure you have alternative transportation home in case of any mechanical that cannot be resolved en route. I try to keep to cycle paths and quiet roads and lanes where possible, however busy roads cannot be avoided completely and there are the associated hazards that go with these.
