Anyone know any good loops round Ramsbottom? Fancy a change from heading East on the Towneley (and I can get DJ's in Holcombe Brook to bleed my back brake while I'm over than way).

Peel tower, entwistle, Darwen.
Darwen moor is fairly large, you could ride around there and die, easily.

Obviously that's not around Ramsbottom.

Ideally, I'd want to be able to ride from Norden to the start point (it's about 5 miles to Rammy town square), which kind of rules Darwen out.

Do you have any more details of the Peel tower loop?
