A pleasant ride to visit the historic Liverpool waterfront and other sights, passing through several parks on the way.

Mostly quiet roads and back lanes. Cycle path along a section of the East Lancs Road.

Lunch stop in Sefton Park, otherwise stops as required.

Helmets are always advisable but NOT compulsory. Please bring the usual emergency tools and puncture repair equipment. Cash / card if you require lunch. Daytime running or emergency lights are a good idea but we should be back long before dusk. *We recommend all participants carry emergency contact details about their person*

We never leave anyone behind
