Breezing around Warrington

This ride is aimed at beginners, those that want to increase their mileage or get back into cycling and gain confidence. The route will leave Orford Jubilee park, travelling on minor roads for a short distance through housing estates to pick up Victoria Park. We then cycle through the park to join the Transpennie Way, where we will follow the Mersey Esturay up towards Fiddlers Ferry. We exit and travel along minor roads to our Cafe stop at The Hayloft where you will be able to refuel and chat with fellow riders. Leaving the cafe we travel a short distance on minor roads to pick up the Lingley Pathway, following this to meet Sankey Valley Park and back to our starting point. The route is virtually flat with only a couple of uphill climbs crossing bridges and exits in and out of parks. We return to our starting place via cycle lanes. This ride would be suitable for beginners and those not so confident on roads.

Covid restrictions are still in place, please think about minimising your travel, please bring along a face covering, hand sanitiser. We are able to ride in a group, however we will need to split into groups at our refreshment stop. Please be reminded that currently cafe stops will be outside.

This is a chance to explore the outskirts of Warrington through Parks and along the Transpennine way.

The route is mainly off road, taking in some of Warringtons parks and pathways, with some small sections on quieter roads. This route is suitable for hybrids and mountain bikes - this route is passable by road bikes with off road tyres.

There will be plenty of opportunities to stop along the way to enjoy the scenery and we will stop off at one of our favourite cafes halfway to refuel and natter.

Helmets are advisable on this route, riders need to bring along spare inner tubes and any specific tools they may need. Please do not be put off by the thought of punctures, we are all happy to pitch in and help out. Please bring along any money you may need for the cafe stop, however they do accept card payments.

First-timers welcome!
