Well, I'm still trying to find local off road routes, so I thought I'd give the Preston Guild Wheel a go for the first time:-

https://www.strava.com/activities/712982247/overview

Time lapse of the route:-


Really enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's really off road - it's probably 50% tarmac, paths, 30% gravel tracks, 15% pavement/cycle paths and 5% quiet roads. There is a steep section above Brockholes though and the part prior (iff going clockwise) is nice up and down gravel paths.

Overall, I'd highly recommend the route to anyone in the area (it's really easy to follow and well signposted - more so if going clockwise) and easy parking in the Broughton area.

Why are you posting a road ride in this section. This is not a how much battery can you use thread. You still need to change these rides on Strava to ebike.
SW only rides on roads, public footpaths and canal towpaths. You should know that by now. :)

And yes SW you should be listing your rides as Ebike on Strava.

People have had to work hard to gain the ride stats that they have, and there is no excuse for not doing so. Gaining a KOM using an ebike isn't exactly hard to do, and certainly can't ever be considered an achievement.

As for the comment that you have made below. What is the point?

if you change it to ebike then back to cycle it removes the flags ;)
