Starting point




Lancashire
PR7 7GT

A Sunny Forecast and a Traffic Free route.
We set off to climb off road up to the Nature Reserve where hopefully the forecast sunshine gives views to the coast. Back down onto Buckshaw’s award winning Cycleways we climb again up the North Buckshaw Landscape mounds and more views?
A road crossing takes us on an undulating route into Cuerden Valley Park. Following cycleways along the River Valley we have the option of two more hills to climb. one with a cafe atop and the possibility of Ice cream.
Return is on a similar route.

Planned as a Novice ride, ( almost the first of the next month!) this location allows for easy routing with parallel more challenging routes to suit all.

All road traffic free. Probably dogs and pedestrians though.

There are two cafes on the route so plenty of options but we customarily stop as needed for whatever and especially for refreshment.

Helmets please on this Ribble Valley Juniors Novice ride. Dress appropriate for the weather.Ideally a spare inner tube to suit your wheel size. A smile and sunshine!

We never leave anyone behind
