Sunday 25th April - A Ride-Blackpool - Post by Shaun
Posting early to give people time to plan. Weather looking good again, so doing a first ride to Blackpool this year. (there will be more, including a more relaxed ride for B riders) I will post a route later if people want one but it's around 120 miles round trip and about 4k ish of climbing.
Due to the distance and the need for me to get back latest 4.30pm the start time will be 7am from the Arena. There will be comfort stops on the way, a quick brew n butty in Blackpool at the mirror ball cafe then head back. The pace will 15/16 mph avg so probably not suitable for beginners. If you fancy coming but just the outbound leg that's great too, but you will need to arrange your own transport home, (trains don't take bikes) for planning we should arrive Blackpool Mirror ball at Around 11/11.30am. Please post on Strava or use Contact form if new to the Club for more information and if your coming. I will post an update on Friday. Hope to see you there 🚴♂️🚴♂️👍 ride safe all.

Sunday ride, 18th April
Hi All. As the weather wasn't ideal for the Southport ride last week, I was going to do it this Sunday. This is the route RidewithGPS Shaun P and Steve G already confirmed going. Forecast is for a cold start, then warming up and only a light breeze. 9.00am meet back at Middleton Arena as it seems ok round there now. The testing station seems very quiet. Thought it worth leaving it till 9.00am to let it warm up a bit, but happy to go at 8.00am if you prefer. Pace around 15mph. New members to the website/club are welcome, use contact form if you do not have a Strava account. Please post on Strava if you'll be going and say whether you prefer an 8am or 9am start. Cheers, Dave
Sunday 'A' ride, 11th April. CANCELLED
Hi All. Don’t know how many are out on Sunday for the ‘A’ ride, but the weather looks good after a frosty night, so I was thinking it was worth doing a longer ride. Some options below, but as always, happy to do something else if you don’t want to do any of these. Please post on Strava if you’ll be going and say what you want to do. 8.00am meet up at Middleton Archer pub. Medium pace around 15mph. Cheers, Dave
Oxenhope, Burnley 67miles, 4200ft elevation. Nice ride, but obviously quite hilly.
Ride with GPS route
Twin Lakes Velo café 75 miles, 3600ft (Assume the café won’t be open, unless they’re doing take out) Goes over Rivington, then flatish afterwards. Option to take a shortcut and return from Rivington down Sheephouse Lane – approx. 45 miles.
Ride with GPS route
Or a coastal option which is a generally flat route.
Southport 93 miles, 3300ft Plenty of opportunities to shorten. Happy to provide a shorter route if you want one.

Wednesday night ride, 7th April
Hi All,
Not sure is anyone's out for the Wednesday night ride again this week? Unfortunately, not the tropical weather we had last week, but should be dry. 6.30pm meet at Middleton Archer pub, so as much of the ride is in the light as possible. Don't forget your lights though! Approx 25 miles, here's a couple of route options if you need one.

Please post on Strava page if you'll be going. Unfortunately, I can't make it this week, but just wanted to try and keep the Wed. evening ride going. Have a good ride if you do go. Cheers, Dave C.
