The Pendle Witches ride again. Not a long ride, but it gets the feet in, and we end October with a spell binding bang. Roughly 17 miles with 2241 feet of climb.

The ride goes through Barley, Downham, Sabden and Newchurch. The route takes us over Pendle hill and back into Barley and the wooden hut café in the car park. The villages decorate up and there’s a real sense of Halloween, Witches and ghostly themes.
Fancy dress not essential, but certainly you need at least a broomstick on your bike. I will be in full witch outfit on the day, including my Black Cat.
The pace will be slower than normal at about 7 -8 miles per hour because of the hills. We will cycle at the slowest riders pace. This is very much a social ride. Please ensure your brakes are fully working as there are some great descents
Please ensure you have a rain jacket. The and if wet also overshoes.
