This is my first blog update for a little while as I’ve been off on a late Easter break. It’s been fun and has involved barbecues; family reunions; baptisms and seaside days out among other things – we can cram a lot into a week!<\/p>\n

Mountain Biking at Lee Quarry<\/h2>\n

But this entry is about the rather wonderful place they call Lee Quarry<\/a>.\u00a0 On Monday, Number One Son and I threw our bikes in the back of the car and headed just outside Bacup for the afternoon.\u00a0 On arrival, our first thought was “Ooooh, pants<\/em>” as the hill up to the entrance from the car park is a bit of a doozy.\u00a0 Nevertheless, we trudged up, rode a bit, trudged a bit more and got to the trails.\u00a0 We weren’t disappointed!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
