Distance:72 miles

A nice big loop up into Lancashire. Over to Bolton, Ramsbottom, Rawtensall. Up onto the tops and then back down into Burnley, Padiham, Whalley and then come back round and head for Preston through Salmesbury. Past the aerodrome and the brewery, Walton le-dale and hightail it home through Bamber Bridge and Wigan.

Only 1226 metres of climbing, it felt more than that, and I was quite slow, 18mph average, not sure what was going on there. Back ached at the end and aah yes, forgot to put food in, must remember that one for next time.
