We're Going To Chipping & We're Going Over Jeffrey Hill!

From Longridge we'll go up to Jeffrey Hill first. This is the easiest hill around & nothing to worry about. If you really don't want to give it a try you can bypass the hill & wait for the rest of the group While they enjoy the wonderful views from the top. Then we ride over to Hurst Green & ride past the imposing Stonyhurst College, on to Edisford Bridge then turning to go up to Bashall Eaves & up & over Cow Ark, keeping to the easier climb. Dropping down into Chipping we'll have a well earned bite to eat before heading back out, keeping Beacon fell on our right. A quick stop at the Brock Bottoms picnic site before heading off to Inglewhite and back to Longridge.

This will be a lovely ride with something for everyone.

We'll ride at a steady pace of 11 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together & have a really pleasant ride.

This is a ride suitable for road bikes & hybrids with road tyres. If you are unsure of your bikes suitability, please get in touch before the ride.

Please be ready to ride by 10.15.

During this year I will be raising money for the charity Bliss that supports families and premature babies in neonatal care. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause - which would be very much appreciated - please click on the Just Giving link below.
