KEEN cyclists from across the country will soak up the stunning Ribble Valley scenery and tackle some of its toughest climbs as part of the “Pendle Pedal 2008”.


This epic ride will take participants over a challenging 60-mile or 100- mile route through the beautiful and hilly Pendle, Ribble Valley, Lune Valley and Forest of Bow- land countryside, on Sunday, August 3rd.


It includes some of the most famed and feared climbs in British cycling, including the Nick O’Pen- dle, Waddington Fell, Tatham Fell and the Trough of Bowland - tests which have been set for pro­ fessionals in previous Tour of Britain, Kelloggs Tour and Milk Race races.


Now in its third year, the Pendle Pedal is sponsored this time by Eric Wright Construction and includes a novel new aspect in the option of riding Salter Fell “Kings Highway”, 10 miles of rough climbs and descents on a medieval road across this remote moor.


Pendle Pedal is part of Pendle Bike Fest 2008, a series of cycling events ranging from Premier Cal­ endar and Elite Series races fea­ turing the country’s top riders, to leisure rides and activities for peo­ ple new to cycling.


Pendle Pedal starts and finishes at the Rolls-Royce Sports Ground in Barnoldswick, while the Pendle Cycle Show takes place there on the same day.

CLARETS fan Adele Robinson ensured Burn­ le y ’s game really was Match of the Day when she took the Leap Year oppor­ tunity to propose to her partner at 'Turf Moor. She brought a cheer from


the terraces when she popped the question to partner of 15 years Mr Chris Robinson at half-time during Burnley’s match against Watford. Miss Robinson may have


been a day late in her proposal - Leap Year Day, which fell on Friday, traditionally allows women to make a marriage proposal. But her partner’s thumbs-


up on the big screen prompted a massive cheer from the 13,000 crowd. I t all happened in the James


Hargreaves Stand where the couple from Read were sitting and was also displayed on one of the club’s advertising boards. A spokesman for the club


said: “We’re delighted to help out, and it was a really unusu­ al event. The club is very happy for the couple and staff are now expecting wedding invitations in the post.” The couple are pictured


sharing a kiss after the propos­ al (A010308/lc) and the mes­ sages displayed at Turf Moor are also shown (s).

have held fund-raising events, includ­ ing a barbecue and car boot sale in aid of one of the chosen charities of the Worshipful Master’s wife Mrs Hazel Walker, and £500 was present­ ed to the service. Our picture shows, seated from the
