Black dog, horribin lane corner and town hall are good bike ones.
The park for the run.
Might even throw my leg over for one day only and ride there !
Let’s plan

I might be able to ride to the black dog, partly depends on road closures and the bike I’m on, I’m doing a TT the day before on the way so probably the TT bike. I’d then ride back into town and put it in the car. I usually park near Morrisons, again depends on road closures though.
This is assuming its dry!
On the run I usually wander around the town hall and up towards the park.

I reckon the top of SmithHills Road would be a good spot.
Will see guys hurtling down the hill, pained coming back up it then shoot off down into Bolton

Despite earlier watching the promo Vid for “The Race in Paradise” as Cairns is branded, a part of me is a bit jealous about Bolton

Not 100% sure of the new route to be honest
I like on the climbs to see the pain faces, last lap will be tough this year.

I had something like 300np on my road bike on my first lap of it.
Lurking on his Strava profile and he had a quality run off too

Couldn’t see them last year.
It’s brown sludge. Although I’m rarely ill, so felt fine.
Just be careful of the punctures 
Gutted I can’t come up 
Got a few from our club doing it too.
Plus a few out supporting.

Early weather forecast isn’t looking too bad, cloudy and ~18c but dry.
I’m sure most people would take that.
