Starting point

PR3 3JL

Car Park behind The Co Op, Berry Lane, Longridge

Starting from Longridge we'll go in a clockwise loop through Wittingham, Broughton and Greater Eccleston before looping around to enjoy lunch at the Barn in Scorton, a great lunch venue at around the 27 mile point. Make sure you have a snack with you to get to this point. After lunch we'll take the flatish route back, keeping the Forest Of Bowland on our left and having a look at Beacon Fell, because we'll be going up there some time soon - but not today. This will be a beautiful ride through some magnificent country. We'll ride at a steady pace of 11-12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our speed at a level so that we can all stay together & have a really pleasant ride. Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready. Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone. It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you. I'm a SkyRide Ride Leader leading guided rides & I'm also a trained route planner - I enjoy my cycling & appreciate it even more when I have people to ride with.
