Little Leigh to Clitheroe 68 miles

Another day through familiar roads, skirting Lymm then over the Manchester Ship Canal at Warburton toll gate. Coffee and cakes at Bents Garden Centre. Then through the urban landscape (also known as busy roads) of Leigh, Hindley, Aspull and Haigh, familiar to anyone who has done the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride. Lunch at the excellent Village Green in Rivington before the climb up Winter Hill for a great view. The rest of the day was a series of climbs and descents, as a warm up for tomorrow's day in the Yorkshire Dales. Clitheroe busy with football so stayed in with the telly.
