Meet at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday 27th April.
The start is at the top of Factory Lane where it joins the A6, Whittle-le-Woods, Chorley PR6 7HS. The adjacent War Memorial Car Park (which is free) is accessed through a narrow entrance on the corner of the A6 Preston Road and Factory Lane itself. (What3words ///remodels.workflow.dote) St John's Primary School is on the opposite corner and Whittlebrook Pharmacy on the opposite side of the road. It will probably be possible to park on Factory lane itself. Further details and route as below.
Please bring the usual emergency tools and puncture repair equipment. Daytime running lights can also be a good idea. Cafe stop probably at Twin Lakes in Croston.
Total distance is 34 miles. NO ONE will be left behind.

This is a low level and relativley easy tour of the local lanes. Good for less than perfect weather as it can be easily extended or shortened depending on how everyone feels on the day. A stop at the Velo cafe is almost de rigeur in this neck of the woods though it can get busy if the Manchester and Liverpool clubs all turn up at once.
1. Start
Start at The War Memorial car park is opposite the local Chemist and the rather narrow entrance is alongside factory Lane in Whittle Le Woods. Parking is free. There is an alternative at the end of factory lane but this belongs to the park and is pay and display. what3words address:///flagging.poorly.system
