Crown Point Clockwise

Moderate road rides around Rossendale, 13-17 miles, with 1100 feet+ of climbing. Come and have a go in a supportive atmosphere! All rides leave Marl Pits Leisure Centre, Rawtenstall, BB4 7SN, at 10am on Sunday. Please text ride leader if you are running late. These rides are HILLY and for BEGINNERS. We will strictly go at the pace of the slowest rider and we will always wait at the top of hills. If you are likely to feel frustrated at the slower pace, do consider the local road clubs who also run Sunday rides. Please do bring a spare inner tube that fits your bike, drink and food. Check the weather forecast as the roads are remote. When we return to Rawtenstall we can visit a café together so bring a bike lock and money if you'd like to join us. Crown Point Clockwise A 13-mile route that leaves Rawtenstall via Newchurch Road, right at the lights and up through Crawshawbooth and higher still to Burnley Brew. Then right and up more to Crown Point - stunning views! We drop down through Water, along Burnley Road East, and turn along Bridleway to get back to Marl Pits. There is 1142 feet of climb but we will go at a steady pace and no one will be left behind. This could take us two hours. If the wind is in the other direction we'll go the other way around so we come home with a tailwind! All rides: 9th November - Crown Point Clockwise (13 miles) 16th November - Deerplay Clockwise (13 miles) 23rd November - Ramsbottom Clockwise (17 miles) Please book on as numbers are limited.
