Please note: Until further notice, all club rides (i.e., group rides) are cancelled. This is due to ambiguity surrounding the CyclingUK/Bikmo group/event insurance, which potentially leaves committee members and/or ride participants without group third-party insurance coverage and personally liable should an incident occur.

Club members are free to follow the ride destination suggestions above and ride as friends/peers, but they do so at their own risk according to their own personal third-party insurance from CyclingUK/Bikmo. Once CyclingUK clarifies its insurance position, the club may then be in a position to reinstate club rides as official CyclingUK group rides.

Each Sunday morning we set out from either Whalley bus station, Ribchester car park or Brownhill roundabout and head off for a day’s ride. Thankfully the weather hasn’t really affected these recently and so we are generally reaching the destination as per the schedule. A example rides are;

Darnbrook – Always a tough ride as there’s quite a lot of climbing involved but the clarity of the day made the effort all worthwhile.

Blackpool – Out across the Fylde to catch the ferry to Fleetwood and then follow the coastal cycle path to the classic seaside town. Another day with perfect weather.

Hebden Bridge – Another challenging ride with plenty of climbing. After lunch at Hebden, we made our way over to Oxenhope, having a look at the K&WVR.

Rivington Pike – We threaded our way through Blackburn, seeing sights you don’t often get, before eventually ascending Rivington pike. The return was via roads even our secretary hadn’t used before.

As you can see, we try to cover all points of the compass with our rides and include all abilities. Why not come along one Sunday and see for yourself something a little unusual?
