Sunday A ride, a couple of hills then a flat bit

Submitted by stevedepport
on Fri, 28/11/2014 - 16:16

Planning on a starter of Ashurst Beacon, main course of Shaley Brow then dessert of the drag through Shevington. The flat bits from Wrightington up to Leyland, turn back for Croston and a Rufford cafe sprint. Back to Ormskirk for 12.30 for anyone not stopping at the cafe.

Keeping it STEADY on the climbs, not wanting anyone waiting too long at the top.

I really enjoyed the ride with Steve D's group Sunday, but the group was a little big. So to give Steve a hand I will take a group as well this Sunday (pending on numbers)

Route? Mmmmmm? I will decide the route pending on the weather of course!!!

In other words, same route as last week but in reverse. That means a cafe stop in Rufford for anyone who wants one on the way back.

About 50 miles round trip from the shop, back for 12.30pm without the cafe stop.

Mountain Bike Ride

A few weeks ago it was suggested that there was to be a Club MTB ride this Sunday led by our very own 2015 TdF rider, Dave Simms. I've manage to get the day off work, so although I've been suffering with man flu for the best part of a month, I will be out after nearly 4 weeks off anything 2 wheeled! laugh

If Dave is unable to make Sunday, then I'm happy to take a group on an adventure, aiming to spend as much time off road as possible. I know some decent routes from Ormskirk out to Bickerstaffe and through to Rainford and beyond.

I'm sure, whether led by Dave, myself or anyone else, the ride will be

Flat 'Steady' Ride

Submitted by D N A
on Mon, 10/11/2014 - 22:18

Weather permitting I'm looking to get out for a few hours this Wednesday. After spending the last couple of weeks out in the hills over Rivi and Belmont,  a few flat miles is the choice of the day! Probably about 50 / 60 miles give or take, A/B group pace depending on people turning up. 10am prompt at the shop. Will post on Facebook as well.

Pendle Hill

Having read the various forum posts about longer rides it's about time we paid a visit to Pendle. Approx 90 miles from shop so make it up to 100 if you wish. There may (probability 99.99%) be a few hills involved as well as a cake stop. Approx return time 3.17pm
