From a gentle cycle on the flat to a challenging hill climb, you can take your pick in Lancashire. Catering for all levels and abilities the new Blackburn with Darwen cycling app promotes twenty-five rides that provide inspiration for local cyclists.
There are rides steeped in history, tradition, and folklore for individuals who spend time savouring their surroundings. Ever changing and contrasting routes, for thrill seekers who enjoy tackling rocky terrain. Short routes with climbs that lead to amazing vantage points of the countryside, and lengthier rides where you’re at risk of overdosing on the picturesque Lancashire scenery.
You may forget you’re only one mile away from the centre of Blackburn when you ride through acres of beautiful mixed woodland, parkland and farmland on the Billinge Wood Trails. Maybe you’d rather try the Circuit of Darwen? Encompassing bleak and rugged moors with challenging climbs mixed with thrilling descents.
If a gentle loop is more your thing then Feniscliffe Circuit is for you, a flat route that takes you along the canal towpath onto a quiet road through the village of Pleasington. Want to entertain the little ones? Head out on a family bike ride and spend the day exploring, relish in your surroundings with a picnic on the moors.
The easy to navigate app is split into three lists, beginners, intermediate and advanced. With rides taking you to Scorton, through the Ribble Valley or venturing into the Yorkshire dales there’s the right level of challenge and adventure waiting for you.
