Trawden

This will be a reasonable difficult ride travelling north via Rochdale, Newchurch, Nelson, Colne, and stopping off at The Old Rock Cafe in a small village called Trawden. We'll then come back down via Todmorden, Littleborough and Chadderton.

Please note that if you feel as though you need to carry on, please wait at the top of each main climb in order to let others get their breath back/have something quick to eat and also take photos. We'll all try and stay as a group and make sure that we don't go too quick as not to burn people out near the start of the ride. At the cafe stop, we'll let everyone finish their food and have time for it to go down before we set off. If you need to stretch your legs, then please let me know.

Please be at the velodrome with a view to leave by 0800. Please don't forget to bring cash/food/spares/tools/appropriate clothing etc. We won't wait after this time.

Distance: 74.1 miles
Elevation:- 5772ft
