Looks interesting!!

I've signed up for the newsletter too.

Some good rides round the Forest of Bowland, geocycle's territory I think.

Hmmm... This kind of fits in with plans that I'm forming for next northern spring/summer. The Velo-City Global conference is in Nantes in early June, so I've been thinking about spending a couple of months on the Euro-Velo system. It'd be a shame to be so close and not nip over for this gig, no?  ;)

Wouldn't it be a hoot to organise a meeting of the Thornistas in Lancashire that weekend?  ;D ;) :D ::)

Liverpool to clitheroe is pretty flat. The hills start North and East of clitheroe and I guess they would figure in planned rides. But, you could choose to ride North of Preston and west over to the fylde if you want flatlands.
