This is a new ride for our group.
We will start from Thornton and ride towards Knott End, through Hambleton and Preesall, through Pilling, Cockerham, Upper Thurnham and on to Glasson Dock for lunch.
We will return via Cockerham, Winmarleigh, touching Garstang, Nateby, Skitham, Great Eccleston, Thistleton, Singleton, Hardhorn, Poulton and back to Thornton
We'll ride at a steady pace of 10 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together.
Remember, this is not a race, but a leisurely ride at a pace to suit the slowest in the group!
Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready. Please ensure you have a pump and a couple of spare tubes in case of punctures and a good secure lock.
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.
Please arrive at least 15 mins before the ride start time, (9.45) So that we are able to get away at the stated start time
