Scouting for Hills

9.9 miles. Elevation 683 ft. If you want to tackle a few more hills, but don’t think you can combine them yet with a longer ride , then join Lesley & Taz as they slowly tackle a few inclines on this short but hilly ride guaranteed to give your cardiovascular system a bit more of a workout than their usual easy-going rides! If we can do it, you can too!!

Setting off from Moss Bank Park car park we make our way through the park and local housing estate to join the cycle path on Chorley Old Road. Time to tackle our first incline and then keeping going for a little bit more uphill onto Walker Fold/Scout Rd. A few undulations to the end of Scout Rd then we head off to Lotties for a well-deserved café stop. After refueling its back up onto Scout Rd to head for the trail through Horrocks Wood / Smithills Country Park . We can then enjoy a great section of downhill before we head back to Moss Bank Park and another little incline before getting back to Moss Bank Park (maybe for a much-needed lie down on a bench!) via Barrow Bridge chimney.

Helmets are mandatory on this ride. Please arrive 10 minutes before the ride start time for a bike safety check and ride briefing.

We never leave anyone behind
