Not me It was a bit wet yesterday

It was dryish early on. But then I got soaked in a heavy shower. But it cleared up so I cut it short and sprinted for home. Just beat the most of the rain.

Had to deal with minor flooding today cos of the rain, luckily its easing off tommorrow

I basically do whatever I fancy once I get to Horwich, depending on time and how fit we're feeling.
However the basic staple for an evening ride is up to two lads then down to Georges Lane then down the Ice Cream Run. Then back to the barn and then, depending on how light it is, messing about in the gardens.

For a day out it can be aforementioned or up to Healy Nab, or over Winter Hill towards Belmont way and back via White Coppice.

I ride to Rivi from Westhoughton so that adds on about 6/7 mile each way.

Regarding when I'm next up, if we get a nice evening this week I'll go. If anyone is going, just drop in here/PM me. Also could be up Wednesday/Thursday, however may be going further afield


EDIT: I'm going up Monday evening, the time is easy depending on anyone but I'll want to be back in Horwich by 9.30 so I can ride home in some bits of light. Any takers?
EDIT 2: I've seen the weather, and could potentially ride anytime in the day, if anyone is free?

Cool, I can do an evening through the week, I'll send you a pm. Went up today and my bike shed a couple of bits so need to visit LBS in the morning.
It's about the same distance for me, nice and flat untill you hit Horwich.

How far I ride really depends on where we want to go and how long we have; if we have less time, we won't go as far.

Generally I never do over 30 miles and if I go up of an evening I usually just stay around the Pike/Japanese Gardens.

Don't worry, next time we can make it a bit shorter
