It was very nice day for our run to Blundell Sands sailing club for the RNLI open day. 8 members set off from the Travellers Rest and we bimbled our way down all the small lanes through Lathom, Bickerstaffe etc until we reached Hightown.

Eleven riders turned up at the Petre Arms to start the run and many were pretty wet on arrival!  Wet gear on and charity collection made, we departed down through Billington and Whalley and right to the  A671 and then onto Sabden.

Day 1.  The usual suspects met at Booths supermarket in Burscough. It was very hot so we set off on time (10.30am) and headed for Liverpool.

Unfortunately the run was cancelled due to the weather on Saturday (persisting down!)

12 Riders turned up at Barton Grange to start our morning run led by Richard Kershaw. The day was a bit grey but very warm and after Richard had cleaned his plug and his bike got push started we turned left from the garden centre and then at the Shell garage turned right off the A6 and headed for Calder Vale. We turned off this road which would have taken us to Oakenclough to get to Barnacre.

12 Riders gathered at the start point at Barton Grange for this year’s memorial run.

25 Members turned up at The Travellers Rest for the AGM and February Club meet in mild and dry conditions, 4 members arrived on bikes.

At our club meeting on the 4th January 2017 we presented a cheque for £1300 to The Northwest Air Ambulance. This was our chosen charity for 2016.
