When the chips are down

This route starts from UCLAN Sports centre, and heading east towards Haighton, Whittingham and Longridge before swinging around to Chipping, where we will take lunch.
The return will by via Broughton, Woodplumpton and Lower Bartle.
I have not ridden this route since July 2019 and therefore will be a bit of a mystery for me, although not for others that take part. Oh and there may well be a few lumpy bits along the way.

We'll ride at a steady pace of 8 - 10 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 and 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 be at the start point at least 15 mins before the ride start time, ready to ride, so that we are able to get away at the stated start time

This is a new route for our group, heading inland from Preston towards a few lumpy bits

As far as is practicable this ride will take to quiet country lanes

The cafe stop will be at around the halfway stage at Chipping
