This ride explores the surrounding area of Rivington. We will follow all the trails that lead up to and
around Rivington pike , with a possibility of adding Two lads and Jonnys drop, dependant on time, ability and weather. The route has a fair bit of climbing, numerous stoney
paths and a lovely descents, although can be loose. I can promise spectacular views, probably cold weather and exhilaration.

Ideally suited to those who have a good level of fitness and those riders who have a sense of
adventure and a willingness to have a go.
There will be a cafe stop but don't know where until the day. Depends on how mucky we get.
NB: Suitable for mountain bikes only, NO hybrids.
Helmets are compulsory. Appropriate clothing and footwear is recommended as it is a muddy ride.
