This ride will take you from the start to the first incline which is Gathurst hill. Once we have caught our breath we gradually climb through Orell to Crank Road. This is the easy way up to the top of Shaley Brow where the views are brilliant. Following a fast downward ride we make our way through Rainford until we get to our Cafe stop at Pimbo garden centre. After refreshments it is off through Upholland and up the easy way to the top of Ashurst beacon. We then have a leisurely ride along Lees lane and our final climb of the day Appley lane North.

Although helmets are only recommended by law and not deemed to be essential, anyone not wearing a helmet will not be able to join the ride. Please be self-sufficient and arm yourself with spare inner tubes, bike levers and pump. Don’t forget your pennies for the café stop. Please ensure you bring along a drink for the ride. Also check you brakes and gears on your bike at least the night before.
