Join us for one of three challenging but beautiful cycle rides starting and finishing at Claughton Memorial Village Hall, near Garstang.
The rides are open to all cyclists (not just Audax members) and suit clubmen, time-trialists, recreational riders, cycle tourists, 'born again' cyclists, young and old, male and female. The length of the rides and the climbing involved means some cycling experience is necessary. Be sure that you are capable of tackling these rides before entering.
The rides are NOT races. People ride them more in the spirit of an event like the London Marathon, everyone riding to their own limitations with the primary objective to just 'get round'.

Fleet Moss 212km (132 miles)
A challenging ride through beautiful countryside including the Forest of Bowland and Upper Wharfedale. Climbs include the Trough of Bowland, Lamb & Tatham Fell, Dent & the infamous Fleet Moss. Worth 1.75 Audax AAA climbing points. After Fleet Moss route takes in Wharfedale, through Kettlewell and Grassington, Gargrave, Bolton-by-Bowland, a final leg-sapping climb of Chaigley (Walker Fold) through Chipping and back to Claughton.

Lunesdale Populaire 158km (98 miles)
Still a hard, hilly event. Follows the Fleet Moss route to Dent (includes Trough of Bowland, Lamb & Tatham Fell), then Sedbergh, Kirkby Lonsdale, then Quernmore to Scorton and back to Claughton HQ.

Pilgrim's Way 112km (70 miles)
Beautiful, moderate, hilly ride, through (or close to) Longridge, Waddington, Downham, East Marton, Hellifield, Bolton-by-Bowland, Waddington, Chipping, Claughton. Café stop at Abbot’s Harbour.
