Don’t miss this cycle race tearing up Ramsbottoms Rake on the 14th of September. There are more than a few cycle enthusiasts who will no doubt be out checking this out.
If you don’t know about “The Rake” in Ramsbottom, it’s the steepest hill in Ramsbottom connecting between Ramsbottom and Holcombe.
Each year there is a race up The Rake organised by Lancashire Road Club every Autumn.
I spoke to Lancashire Road Club press officer Ian McKinley back in 2016
No doubt there will be a real buzz around the town on the day, hoping for some great weather too! 😎 🚴♀️ 🔔
