Living just down the road in Bury, it would be rude not to biggrin

Not many takers though huh?

I'm not too far so might be up for that.

I used to enjoy the Wheatsheaf meets but am otherwise engaged on Thurs evenings now so no can do those.

How about meeting up Rivvy or Belmont maybe?

This is a decent pub for a meet, with a good-sized car park.

Meet my mate regularly there on his bike.

Doh!

Linky no worky!

Head out of Horwich, towards Grimeford village, and the pub is on the corner where the A673 Bolton Road, and Rivington Lane meet. Pub is on the right hand side as the road splits, leading to the section of road between the reservoirs.

I used to run a Thursday night run for a mix of machinery from the Squirrel (though that has now become an Indian Restaurant I think, or closed since then?). I'd be happy to resurect that route for this, a little loop across a mixture of roads.

There is a pub further along Bolton Road to the northwest of Horwich, white place on the right hand side, or is that the Millstone?

Bob's Smithy is a good pub also.

Some of us Dutton owners do the first thurdays monthly at the blundell on chorley old road, quiz night so can get quite busy but has a reasonable car park out the back.

Right, let's get something organised.

Reply with a "weekend / early morning" or "weeknight" request, and I'll sort a route and pub.
