Starting point

WN3 4ET

Pickup point is the nearest postal address is Wood's Street, off Caroline Street, Wigan, WN3 4ET. We'll meet on the canal side near the bottom lock.

The ride is approximately 13 miles along the flat towpath of the Leeds Liverpool Canal heading to Appley Bridge, where we will stop have lunch and take a well earned rest before the return journey. The path is partly paved but then does become traditional canal side path so mountain bikes are best suited to this terrain, especially if we have had rain previously. Hybrids have been used on this ride but please be aware of the changing terrain in the wet. Bring a drink and it's advisable to dress for the British weather with plenty of spare clothing just in case. Helmets are adviseable and it is a good idea to bring a spare inner tube along but don't worry if you haven't got one. Children are most welcome on this ride as long as they can do the distance and MUST wear a helmet or will not be allowed to take part. We always ride to the slowest of the group as this is a social, friendly bike ride, where you can get fit, have fun and make lots of friends. Any questions contact me (Louise) via email at [email protected] or see us on Facebook or Twitter
