Ride to Amberswood and Pearsons Flash

The ride will leave Robin Park and follow the River Douglas then going through Westwood into Amberswood and follow the Route 55 cyclepath to Wigan locks. Just before the locks we turn towards Ince Hall Avenue and cross the main road into Anderson Street and go through the estate to the William Fosters Hub for our refreshment stop.

Our return journey will see us go down Ince Green Lane and past Wigan Crematorium and around Pearsons Flash. At the canal we follow the offside towpath to the A49 bypass bridge and then cycle to the Red Ponds and back to Robin Park.

As usual photos will be taken on the ride and will be posted on the Wigan and Leigh Cycling Group Facebook page - please notify the ride leaders before the start of the ride if you do not want your photo taken.

A short and steady ride around some of the Wigan flashes and canals.

The ride is a mixture of canal towpath, quiet roads, short stretches of busy roads and tracks and trails. There will be short stops en route and a longer stop for refreshments so please bring drinks and snacks or money to buy them. New riders are more than welcome on our rides and we never leave anyone behind. Helmets must be worn on this ride.
