Meet in front of Astley Hall, Chorley PR7 1XA at 6 p.m. on Thursday 20th April.
Access is from the car park on Hallgate, Astley Village, Chorley PR7 1NP. This is a fairly large car park and is free. There are toilets at Astley Hall, though they may not be open after 6 p.m. and I cannot even guarantee that. The alternative car park is on Queens Road PR7 1JU, next to Astley Park main gates PR7 on the other side of the park. This is also free in the evening.
The route shown below and GPX file start at Astley Park Gates but it is easier on this occasion to start at the Hall.
Please bring the usual emergency tools and puncture repair equipment. Emergency lights also recommended.
*We also recommend all participants carry emergency contact details about their person*
This is another flat ride. NO ONE will be left behind.
