Part of our Breeze ride series, "Autumn to Winter". Today we will stretch our legs on a flat route from the Pier Head to Ainsdale, where we will stop for a coffee. Riders then have the option of taking the Merseyrail train home, or maybe cycling back some, or all of the way!
The route is mostly traffic-free, using the canal, parks and the coastal path. However, there are some short stretches of road and riders should be confident to ride amongst other traffic.
We will stop in Mecycle cafe at Ainsdale station.
Any sort of bike is suitable for this ride, though the short route through Formby woods can sometimes be a bit slippy with leaves or mud. Therefore a winter-style set of tyres is better than narrow racing tyres. Bring a snack and water, and warm layers of clothing including waterproofs.
First time out with a group? Don't worry, come along and give it a try. We ride along the route of the Merseyrail Northern Line, so you can do as much of the route as you can and still be able to jump a train home!
