We're Searching For Our Roots! - Official FCs Ride

We have 2 start points to get the people out riding who we've not seen for a while. Sun's out, get your bike out & get riding!

St Augustine's Billington, Whalley, BB7 9JA - 10am - 44 Miles

Co-Op car park, Berry Lane, Longridge, PR3 3NH - 11am - 25 Miles

From our familiar starting point at Billington we'll head out to Ribchester & Longridge, Inglewhite, Bilsborrow & Catforth where we'll turn & go to Roots Café for lunch.
After a lovely vanilla slice, we'll make our way back via Broughton & Whittingham.

It'll be a lovely ride with a few lumpy bits!
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. We can all do the lumps at our own pace & we'll reform at the top. 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 all the parts for your bike - pump, spare tube, multi tool. Your bike is your responsibility! Phone, money too. You are your responsibility! Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone. If you book on this ride & can't make it, please have the courtesy to cancel your place, so someone else can take it. 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 British Cycling 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. Our group is called the FC's - Friendly Cyclists, where all the Ride Leaders are trained & certified.
