Get up rivington
if you are wanting DH id try from the top of winter hill either down into belmont or the other way down two lads and then along georges lane to the pigeon tower. Then take the left fork, the ice cream run.
Give us a holler if you are heading up, Im free most of the time and it'd be a pleasure to show you round 0 -

They've cut down Wilderswood recently so its not as good as it was.
I'm going up in a bit, any takers?
Mintedox - any luck on the bike fixing?0 -
Off to Hayfield on Thursday, so I shall see whether I am still alive!
I could do tommorrow evening or Wednesday day or evening?0 -
I'll do wednesday if you fancy, Hayfield sounds like hard work. Slightly jealous

Any time after 4 is good for me, Are you riding there? I can meet you somewhere in Horwich if you are.
Any other takers?Papa? Nicole0 -
I am riding there. We could make it more of an evening ride, how about we meet some time about 6.15ish at the Crown?
I'm flexible to suit others however
And indeed, the more the merrier in my book0 -

The red and black runs are Healy nab near chorley, well worth the ride there.
I'm up for a saturday mission but was thinking more towards egerton/ peel tower if anyone is up for it?Papa? Nicole0 -
We're up for wherever. As long as we get a good run.Whyte 801

I'll come along unless its monsooning.
Riding from Westhoughton but will meet anywhere
Egerton/Peel Tower sounds good, but so does Healley Nab
We could go over the top to Belmont and then round, via Withnell Fold, to Healy Nab?0 -
I can ride up with you from weathoughton?
I don't mind where we go. I'd probably have meet my mate at lower barn unless we know where we're going?Whyte 801
