The Autumn Series - Preston's Ice Cream Sunday

Just because the days are getting shorter, it doesn’t mean you have to stop cycling. Keep riding with our Autumn Series – now open for free booking. These rides are all about getting the best out of the season, perfect for getting out on your bike and warming up on a fresh autumn morning! As ‘challenging’ rides you can expect distances of twenty miles and above, usually with some hills thrown in along the way. You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins to take part, but you’ll need to be fairly fit. There's nothing like popping out for an ice cream on a summer's day, but this 21 mile ride from Preston into the villages of the Fylde coast really pushes the envelope. You'll start at the UCLan Sports Arena and head out on an anticlockwise loop through the Fylde villages, with your compass set for the village of Elswick, the home of the famous Bonds Ice Cream Shop. Here you can sample a well-earned ice cream sundae, before looping back on quiet lanes through Roseacre and Lea Town back to Preston.
