On this early evening ride, we depart from the start point and head over in the vicinity of Aspull. From here we will use the canal paths around Haigh and Wigan before using some ‘secret’ trails to return on this circular route through Hindley and back home. There will be a mix of major and minor roads, canal paths, cycle ways, bridleways, forest trails and some grassy areas that we will cycle upon. There are a couple of ‘inclines’ for you to practice on but as you know, where there are ups, there are downs. Let us show you trails and areas available to you for your own exploration As always, the English weather is often unpredictable so please dress appropriately. It’s better to take layers off, then have none to put on if its chilly or wet! Also bring along a drink and a snack for the ride. We are not fair weather cyclists! As always, a helmet is essential along with a spare inner tube, pump, lock etc but don't worry too much if you don't have the latter. Any questions please feel free to message us at [email protected] or through this page by pressing the contact ride creator button.
