Be Well Ride to St Mary's Marina

We'll leave Robin Park and follow the Leeds and Liverpool canal towpath to Crooke Village where we leave the towpath and follow the trail through to Shevington. After cutting through the housing estates we enter Elnup Woods and continue on the tracks to Standish Mineral Line. We pass through the estate and follow the path across the farmers field and take to the road again from the M6 motorway bridge to Eccleston Delph where we'll have a short break before continuing on quiet country lanes to St Marys Marina in Rufford where we will have a longer stop for refreshments.
The return journey will see us take to the L & L Rufford Branch canal to Burscough before following the Leeds and Liverpool canal towpath to Crooke where we cut through the woods towards Winstanleys Bikes and then cycle through Marsh Green and back to Robin Park.
We will have short stops en route and a longer stop for refreshments at the St Marys Marina so please bring your own drink/snacks or money to buy them.
This ride will be challenging for beginners due to the gradients and the distance of 32 miles.
If you do book on the ride and then find that you have to cancel for any reason please take your name off the Lets Ride site as soon as possible so that someone on the waiting list can take your place.

The ride is a mixture of canal towpath, quiet estate roads, quiet country lanes, short stretches of busy roads plus tracks and trails.
