Used to pedal out of Blackburn on the canal paths. I found it alot safer than pedalling on the roads at 8:00AM in the morning. I had a flat right in the middle behind Asda where the little stone bridge is. 7-8 years ago I used to pedal everyday the other way towards Preston to work. I had a spell of abot 3months last year doing it. In the summer you can't beat it. If you carry on along past Ewood and about a mile past Feniscowles you come to a proper "Boatyard" pub where you can stop for pints and foods (don't be confused with another "boatyard" - which is about 5-6 barges in a row where people are living on them - it is another 10-15mins past this). Would probably be a 10-15 mile bike ride from Accy though - a round trip and you'd be ready for the London Olympics!
