March 15^th –  Puddleducks Café, Dunsop Bridge (via Marl Hill, 37.5 miles)

Preston, Fullwood, Haighton, Longridge Fell, Trough Rd, Marl Hill, Newton, Dunsop Bridge

Return via Little Bowland and Chipping.

Comments: Not the normal Trough route to Dunsop Bridge.  For those who like to go downhill fast the descent of Marl Hill is a cracker. Shorter route would be direct to Dunsop Bridge and miss out Marl Hill and Newton.

B-Group Sunday Long Ride combined with the Miles for Mons Group.

Update – Plan B – Now 9.15. at the Plough bus stopand going North apparently

Meeting at the Club Room for a 9.15.am start or the Plough Bus Stop at 9.30.am. Destination will be Rivington.

March 22^nd Cobbled Corner, Chipping (via Stonyhurst College, 38 miles)

Preston, Fullwood, Haighton, Longridge, Knowle Green, Hurst Green, Stonyhurst College, Birdy Brow, Chaigley, Chipping.

Return via Quiet Road Route to Inglewhite

Comments: Shorter route would be direct to Chipping missing out Longridge and Stoneyhurst College.

March 29^th Wray via Littledale (48 miles)

Usual route to Scorton (riders not wishing to go further can call in at the Barn) ,

Dolphinholme, Quernmore, Littledale, Wray Café

Return via Caton, Quernmore, Scorton

Comments: This ride is an absolute gem and it has been included by popular request. Littledale is an isolated area and the ride will involve going through a gated road (if we can find it) and through some beautiful countryside. Pretty hilly after Quernmore but a flatter return route.

There is a desire by some riders to extend the mileage as the weather gets better and Ingleton and Kirkby Longsdale have been mentioned as possible destinations in the near future but this may involve a slightly earlier start.

Suggestions on further destinations/routes welcome
