Millom - City Streets & Park Life - 6 miler

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. Come and join us on this lovely 6 mile circular route that takes in some spectacular views.  Starting at Millom Recreation Centre we ride a short distance heading out of Millom, then on to quieter roads heading towards the village of Haverigg before picking up the track to the Hodbarrow RSPB Nature Reserve. This is where the ride really gets exciting!  We definitely encourage you to bring your cameras as the scenery, the sound of birds and seeing the wild life is spectacular. As we cycle around the 200 acre lagoon there is a beach where we can stop for a breather and to take in the views before carrying on to the start of Hodbarrow RSPB and head toward Haverigg sea front where there are toilets and a cafe, from here we make our way back to Millom.  Please be aware this route does take in some gentle hills but these really are forgotten when cycling along in the amazing surroundings. Free cycle hire is available from Lake District Cycling, tel 07917608566 up to day before. Please state hire is for Millom Sky Ride for delivery to start of ride.
