Ride to Frederick's Mesnes Park, Wigan

The ride will leave Robin Park and follow the cycle path through Marsh Green, Kitt Green and past the Heinz factory to Martland Mill Lane where we head to Crooke Village. We leave the towpath and follow the trail to Shevington and climb through Elnup Woods to the Bee Network multi user path from Standish to Beech Hill. From Beech Hill we follow the cycle route to Mesnes Park and the new Covid Memorial on Mesnes Field. After a short stop we return to Mesnes Park for refreshments at Frederick's at the Pavilion.

The route may change on the day depending on the weather conditions.

The return route is back to Beech Hill, down Rose Avenue and back to Robin Park.

The ride is barrier free but there are a couple of places where you will have to squeeze through bollards and chicanes.

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

A chance to ride through one of Wigan's Premier parks.

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 at Frederick's at the Pavilion in Mesnes Park.

Please bring drinks/snacks or money to buy them. Helmets should be worn on this ride.

New riders are welcome on our rides and we never leave anyone behind.
