We leave Avenham park and head up to Leigh Brow where we join the road and cycle through Lostock Hall and Whitestakes. We then continue along quieter lanes passing through Ulnes Walton, skirting the edge of Eccleston and climb up to The Delph diving centre for a welcome coffee. We then head back down hill and head to Croston where we pick up some lanes that take us through Bretherton , Much Hoole and onto Walmer Bridge. Here we join cycle paths and make our way back to our start point at Avenham Park

This is a steady ride aimed at women who are confident on a bike and wish to extend the length of their rides. We will aim for an average speed of 10-11 miles an hour.

The route takes us along country roads and quiet lanes with one hill on which to test our climbing legs.

We will be stopping at the Delph Diving centre for Coffee. We will also stop at suitable points along the route to take a drink and catch our breath.

Please bring some water and a snack and some money if you wish to purchase food and/or drink at the coffee stop. Be prepared for cold/warm/wet weather conditions. Riders are advised to wear a helmet and it is compulsory for those under 18 to wear a helmet. Please carry a spare inner tube and tools necessary to carry out a puncture repair Prior to the start of the ride there will be a short bike check and safety brief but please make sure that your bike is in working order before joining the ride.

This is a small friendly group of women who enjoy a social ride around the scenic lanes in the area and a friendly chat over coffee. We love to welcome new members and we never leave anyone behind.
