Leaving the car park of Alison Arms we travel towards Back Lane Chorely and onwards to Eccleston. The roads will be a mixture of busy and quiet lanes passing through scenic countryside. There are some busy lanes and junctions which we will always tackle together. This is a fairly flat route, with some short off road sections.

Come and join Fatima and Lesley on this lovely scenic route over to the famous Twin Lake Velo at Croston.
We will be travelling along a mixture of quiet country lanes with some busier roads and single track lanes all the way to the quaint, picture perfect village of Croston.
The Twin Lakes venue will be our café stop around halfway along the route, We will also stop at intervals to take in the views and to take photographs for our social media. If you would prefer not to have your photo taken please inform your leaders on the day.
