Well, I'll be checking this thread last thing Saturday evening and at about 07:30 on Sunday morning so if anybody wants to drop out, post below to let me know.
It will be really cold standing around in the car park so let's have a simple rule - we'll set off bang on 09:00! We normally wait for stragglers, but I don't think that is fair to expect that on a freezing winter morning.
I'll time my arrival for about 08:50 - 08:55.
If you are late arriving, you will need to chase after us. You would have 14.5 miles to catch us before the turn off for the Padiham Greenway which you could easily miss. We will not be riding that quickly so you should be able to catch us.
For any chasing latecomers, navigation would be child's play - from the end of the car park, turn left and follow the road back over the bridge into the town centre, turn right down the pedestrianised area by The Shoulder of Mutton and proceed to the lights on the A646. Turn right and follow the A646 to Todmorden, go right at the roundabout and continue to follow the A646 to Burnley, across the 'scissor' junction with the A671 (still on the A646), climb the hill and then descend through the lights on Manchester Road, down Rossendale Road to the next set of lights at Rose Grove. The turn for the Greenway is straight through the lights, and take a left 100 yards on (immediately after crossing the M65), just before the houses. If you haven't caught us by then, you'll need a map or a GPS if you don't know our route!
