Hills and Beacons

Leaving Eccleston, we head out towards Mawdsley for the first climb up Hunters Hill, then pass by Parbold and over to Burscough, then loop our way back over Ashurst Beacon, through Roby Mill with the last climb back up to Wrightington and a nice cruise back to Eccleston

An old favourite, road ride taking in local hills from Eccleston, Chorley

Mostly quiet lanes and B roads, with some short stretches on a couple of busier A roads.

We will factor in a cafe stop for refreshments at some point

Helmets are a requirement of this ride. Please be equipped with roadside repair items, inner tube and pump etc. Any PPE equipment you require and plenty of sun screen and liquids if the weather is hot.

This is a hilly road ride and a road bike is required to participate. If you have a very light hybrid or e bike that is fine, but please be aware that we will be riding at 11 to 13 mph and the elevation overall is almost 2000ft, so be confident that you can match the distance, speed and elevation.
