Starting point




Merseyside
WA11 7TA

heading out from Rainford along the A570 cycle path , we head into St Helens for a tour of some of our parks and a little something extra , with a bit of an automotive theme before heading up to The Dream Statue , then heading up along Sankey Valley into Carr mill , before climbing up a quiet road into Billinge , then heading down to Kings Moss in the shadow of Shaley Brow , and looping back through Crawford to the start point .
Please note we ride at an average speed of between 9 and 11 MPH , please make sure you can ride at this pace and for the distance . Because of the little extra aspects of this ride , it actually runs to 34.52 miles rather than 33 miles .
Please make sure you are fit and well enough to complete this ride , if you are feeling unwell ,please cancel your place and let us know then we are not waiting around . Thanks
