Meet in the small car park on the right (travelling North on the A6) on Garstang road, Bilsborrow PR3 0RE, at 9.30 a.m. Sunday 19th September. The car park is situated just after the left turn into St Michaels Road (Guy’s Thatched Hamlet) and just before the right turn into Bilsborrow Lane (The Roebuck and the Premier Inn).
Another ride this week from Bilsborrow due to Chorley being cordoned off for no good reason other than some ritual political nonsense. A flat ride this time, and not too long in case of inclement weather. Route details as below. There is a 20p charge for the Wyre Toll Bridge. Lunch stop can be taken in Knott End, probably at Amy's Kitchen.
Total distance is 38 miles, NO ONE will be left behind.
