Starting point

BB4 7SN

Marl Pits Leisure Centre, Newchurch Road, Rawtenstall

Beginners' road ride - at YOUR pace! Join us, on a hybrid bike or a road bike, to explore the beautiful scenery between Rawtenstall and Burnley. We'll head out through Crawshawbooth and drop down to Burnley, turning right below Crown Point (we're not going over Crown Point this time) to join Bacup Road and then Burnley Road East, through Weir and Bacup and back to Marl Pits. Yes, it is hilly. It's worth it! We always stop and wait for each other at the top. We take our time and enjoy it; this is no kind of "training ride" and it's open to anyone. Please note that it can be colder on the tops than the valleys so do bring an extra layer, some snacks and an inner tube that fits your bike. We leave at 6.30pm which means that we may be returning as dusk falls - lights are strongly recommended, especially as if it's overcast, the valleys get darker very quickly. For more information do email [email protected] Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
