Amazingly, it is 4 years since we last rode this old favourite from Spring Wood, Whalley to Glasson Dock near Lancaster... Blame the pandemic! Anyway, it is time to do it again. The date chosen is Sat, 10th June, with a backup date of a week later if we get really unlucky with the weather on the 10th.
We'll meet at the pay and display car park at Spring Wood picnic centre above Whalley at around 09:50 with a view to leaving at 10:00. There is a train arriving at Whalley station at 09:52. If you intend to come by train then just wait across the road from the station for 15 minutes or so and we will ride down and meet you there.
The route is 103 km (64 miles) in length. The only longish steep climb is the Trough of Bowland. The outward leg to the cafe at Glasson Dock is harder than the return leg, which is how I like it!
Here's a map of the route, to be ridden anti-clockwise...
The profile, with the summit of the Trough marked...
A GPX file of the route is attached below.
I have 3 friends interested. Sign up below if you fancy joining us.
