We Are Going to Chipping

This ride was created by Craig Atherton for the Friendly Cyclists. It is a few years since I last rode this route.

The ride starts from Longridge, up the hill to Thornley, round to Hurst Green, on to Coulthurst, Higher Lees, Middle Lees then to Chipping and lunch. Please try to have cash, for food / drinks, as the farm shop / café would appreciate it.

From Chipping we travel around Beacon fell to Whitechapel and Claughton before the long run back to Longridge.

We'll ride at a steady pace of 8 - 10 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together.
Remember, this is not a race, but a leisurely ride at a pace to suit the slowest in the group!
Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, helmet & lights checked and ready. Please ensure you have a pump and a couple of spare tubes in case of punctures and a good secure lock.
It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you.
Please be at the start point at least 15 mins before the ride start time, (9.45) ready to ride, so that we are able to get away at the stated start time of 10.05
