After the spectacular success of my 'comeback' forum ride last Saturday, I was on a bit of a high so I fired up my mapping software and have devised another route in that area for a forum ride in June.
The route is spectacularly lovely and is 102 km in length, with about 1,750 m of climbing. (It isn't something that we would want to tackle in bad weather though, so I am going to come up with an easier 75 km alternative route calling in at the cafe in either Slaidburn or Waddington to cover that eventuality.)

The main loop will start from Spring Wood car park above Whalley at 10:00 on Saturday, 7th June.
I will be starting with Steve H (and anybody else who fancies a hard, hilly imperial century+) from Market Place car park, Hebden Bridge at 07:30. I think we will ride out via Colden, Blackshaw Head and the Long Causeway then descend to Walk Mill and continue to Spring Wood on the A646, Padiham Greenway and the Old Roman Road from the back of Read. (If the weather is bad, we will scrap that idea and start at Spring Wood instead for the shorter alternative loop.)

Provisional rider list: (
= mad riders doing extra miles and hills from Hebden Bridge to/from Spring Wood, Whalley)
