Leaving the Royal Arms we will head towards Feniscowles and onwards to Hoghton, Top O'Th' Lane and Withnell, where we will catch our breath following the sharp ascent up to the Top Lock pub. Onwards then to Heapey, Cowling, Limbrick finally stopping for some well-earned sustenance at Rivington Tea Rooms (approx 20 miles). Having been fed and watered we will continue our way back via Horwich, Walker Fold and Belmont.
This is a very undulating route with some big climbs rewarded with some exhilarating downhills. The total mileage is some 33 miles, with approx 2,500 feet of climbing. We will ensure no one gets left behind and will regroup and take breathers/drinks at the top of the climbs. Average speed will be approx 10-12mph.
Helmets are required and please be self sufficient in the event of any roadside repairs.
