Woods & Water (Ladies Only)

Ride Leaders - Taz Jolly & Sharon Morgan. This ride uses a mixture of woodland trails, canal towpaths and roads. Average Speed 8-9 mph Elevation 589 ft starting at Borsdane Wood Carpark.
We cycle on the road initially to join the trail ( might be muddy) through Borsdane Woods coming out at Hindley. Navigating our way through Hindley we then join another trail through Ambers Woods then use the canal towpath to bring us into Haigh park. After our cafe stop at Haigh Hall courtyard we head back on the road to our start point.
Please ensure your bike is in good working condition. Check your gears and brakes at least the night before and arrive 15 minutes before the start time so we can complete a safety check before the ride.

We request that everyone wears a helmet for safety anyone not wearing a helmet will be unable to join us on the ride. Spare inner tubes, tyre levers, pump, a lock and some cash for the cafe stop would be advisable.
