Starting from the Whittle war memorial in Whittle-le-Woods, the route climbs steadily over Brindle, Samlesbury and Mellor, taking in five recognised Garmin-categorised climbs before descending into Whalley.
From there, it picks up a selection of familiar lanes en route to Potters Barn for a well-earned coffee and snack stop, before climbing again towards Ribchester. After this point, the route eases considerably, rolling through quiet, pleasant lanes towards Woodplumpton and skirting Preston via sections of the Guild Wheel.
The return leg loops back to the start via Hurst Grange Park and Cuerden Valley Park, finishing with a gentle ride back to Whittle.
