Great pictures. Having grown up in that neck of the woods, Darwen tower will always be a space rocket to me.

it's not only me that does this then ?

Maybe, but we started and finished at Rivington, and it was a ride, so I reckon "Rivington ride" is as good a title as any!

EDIT: D'oh beaten to it...

Lowey seems to have some how managed to get a shot of Mrsflashes bum in his set as well.
Funny that

Respect goes out to you Lowey for a superb days riding and also keeping 28 people happy
Gingerflash some great pics there
To the rest of the riders thanks for all being a great bunch it makes a ride much better when everyone is friendly and no one gets left out or behind
I just wished i would have been able to use my granny gear but the bl--dy thing just wouldn't work all day. I thought I had got away with just sore legs but when home I decided to have a soak in the tub with a book and beer, which was great until I suddenly got bad cramp. Its not much fun slipping and sliding in a bath with loads of soap & bubbles
and not being able to stretch my leg to get rid of the cramp 
Anyhow looking forward to seeing some more pics and hope that anyone who rode this area for the first time enjoyed themselves.
I had 27.5 on my clock for the actual ride, plus the 5 I did on my hard tail before the back brake f--cked up and I had to go back home and exchange for my full suss, so it turned out to be a very good ride to help me get my fitness levels up.Again Cheer Lowey, looking forward to the next one

Hora, pretty sure thats the bit after half climbing to Darwen tower you turn off and head down this shute - problem is you loose a lot of height so more climbing.......certainly worth it tho, I think we all had some nearly off moments down it (the picture shows the smooth roll out bit)

I thought you was local ?? It's the lower track approaching the tower from the S:

(Rubs slapped face), I'm not local. If I was local I'd be rubbing my slapped-cheek with a webbed-hand

To be honest, I;ve had deep seated doubts about Mr. Sparkle since he moved from the tropical paradise of Bolton, to Darwen by choice
Personally I couldnt be that close to Ewood. I would come out in a rash.
