Starting point

BL6 7SB

Meet in front of Rivington Hall Barn (the top one)

This is a mainly traffic free route (apart from a couple of very short sections of quiet roads) - this takes in lots of lovely bridleways around Rivington, past the castle and along the side of the reservoir. A little muddy in parts so bikes with knobbly tyres recommended (not suitable for road bikes or very thin tyres) it will be at a comfortable pace, a few easy hills and there will be an opportunity for cake at the end if anyone so wishes! (So bring a few quid). It’s a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going and money for if we stop at a cafe. 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.  We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.
