It is called the Cycle Touring Festival and I had the pleasure of going this year.  This is what I found.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tIt was the day before the festival\n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t@Festival\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>It was the day before the festival and time had been moving way too fast and I was faced with getting my bicycle and kit ready whilst trying to work from home! I had told myself there would be plenty of time, but as ever that was wishful thinking as I frantically packed my car.  I was leaving later that evening and was picking up another attendee on route, who had put a request on Facebook for a lift to the festival the night before and I was happy to help out. A quick detour and we headed north on our 250 mile journey. It was good to have company along the way &#8211; with lots of bicycle talk, it wasn&#8217;t long before we arrived.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tTrying to be very quiet! \n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t@Road\n\t<\/h3>\n\tWe set about unloading and scouting around for a gap in the busy camping fields. With a gap successfully found, we set to work whilst trying to be very quiet!  With the head torches shining here there and everywhere and a little banging around probably didn&#8217;t make us any friends, so apologies to the other festival goers!<br \/>\nMorning soon arrived and I was awoken with beautiful sunlight filling up my tent. I love camping at this time of year &#8211; the sun rises are often spectacular, giving you a real spring in your step for the day. The bright yellow sky against all the tents made for a postcard perfect shot. Remembering that I packed fresh coffee and my jetboil was an added bonus. Life was good \ud83d\ude42\n<p>I had planned to go cycling, but instead went for a walk to get my bearings. Off I went exploring.<\/p>\n<p>The festival is held at a Girl Guide Camp Site, just outside a town in Lancashire called, Clitheroe. The site is surrounded by stunning countryside, a central house with outbuildings, beautiful grounds with plenty of space to chill. It is shame we couldn&#8217;t access the high and low ropes area, as they did look fun \ud83d\ude42  And there is the river Ribble if you fancy a dip!  A great setting to get away from everyday life and host a cycling festival.<\/p><\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is called the Cycle Touring Festival and I had the pleasure of going this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":987785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[27,28],"class_list":["post-306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bike","tag-electric","tag-expedition"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
