On Saturday I embarked on my biggest cycling challenge to date – the Ribble Valley Villages ride. I am chuffed to write I successfully completed the circuit which takes in such picturesque villages as Downham, Great Mitton, Ribchester, Old Langho, Billington, Whalley, Wiswell, Pendleton and Worston.
It was a beautiful day and the scenery was simply stunning.
The 47kn ride took 3 hours 50 minutes which is a lot longer than I would normally have liked however the terrain was extremely challenging :- up ‘ill and down dale! My companion on the day – Kral – was very patient in waiting for me to struggle up each gradient.
An exhausting but incredibly rewarding day.
