Lancashire & CumbriaA Ride in the Forest of Bowland. Start: Clitheroe BB7 3LA at 09:15 for 09:30. 35 miles, A. Start : Edisford Road car park, Clitheroe BB7 3LA. We start from the car park, heading towards Bashall Eaves and then circle east, through Waddington, West Bradford and Grindleton, skirting Sawley and to our coffee stop at Holden Clough Nurseries (after 12 miles). Suitably refreshed, we then have a 3 mile climb along Holden Lane towards Slaidburn. We don't actually go into Slaidburn, keeping south of the Hodder, crossing the river at Newton. WE continue west to Dunsop Bridge for our lunch stop (picnic area/cafe/public toilets) after 22 miles. Then it's a hop, skip and a climb or two, as we head south, keeping to the west, and then south of the Hodder, back to Clitheroe (34 miles, 2800 ft ascent).

YorkshireWonders of Wakefield. Start: Waterfront Car Park, Barnsley Road, Wakefield WF1 5JT at 13:30. 21 miles, A. Start point will be Waterfront Car Park, Barnsley Road, Wakefield WF1 5JT from 1.00 pm for a 1.30 start. Parking is free on Sundays. The route is about 21 miles of mixed quiet road and track. The track sections are rideable on a road tandem with just one spot where we may have to dismount to manoeuvre our tandems. There will be a coffee stop about half way round at Nostell Priory. I have attached a leaflet about the route which takes in many places of historic and cultural interest. As always, it would be useful to know if you are planning to come so we can let the cafe know. I look forward to seeing many of you on 10th August. I will send an update nearer to the ride. Graham Riley, 07885039043, grabags59@gmail.com
