Start from Bridge House Tea shop at Wray 10:30am – come at 10am for pre-ride coffee. Up school lane then Roeburndale road up to low/mid/high Salter then onto the fell track. Brew stop at Croasdale shooting hut, about 12 miles/ 2 hours in (Bring a flask). Lunch at Slaidburn, back over the road via Cross of Greet and lanes back to Wray. Probably about 30 miles with 4-5,000’ of ascent – a tough day out but doable with reasonable fitness – not advisable on a road bike but gravel/MTB’s fine.

Lunch venue dependent on weather and number of participants given that some regular Sunday riders may be on the club holiday.
The Club now expects riders to have their emergency contact information (ICE) with them when on rides.
Sunday and Thursday Rides are now planned until the end of September, and are on the diary, but only one ride for October! Volunteers to lead from October onwards are encouraged and welcomed. Please consult the diary for free dates and send your suggestions to Neil Westwell on ridelancasterctc@gmail.com.
If you write a Ride Report please mention “Lancaster and South Lakes Cycle Touring Club” at the beginning and end with “Anyone who is interested in joining us can find information about our regular club rides on Thursdays and Sundays on our website: www.ctclancaster.org.uk.” Send a copy to Neil Westwell who will put it on the webpage and Steve Bateman who send it to the Lancaster ‘Guardian’ and Morecambe ‘Visitor’. Anyone can post their ride reports and photos on the Group Facebook page - once they’ve joined it.
Anyone fancying a slower, shorter ride on alternate Sunday's might like to join Simeon Orme's group at Where's the Brew Stop.
