Three Parks Ride - South Liverpool

This ride is ideal for anyone who hasn't been on a bike for a while, or anyone who wants to explore the beautiful parks of Liverpool. Most of the route is traffic free with a short section on quiet roads. We'll be going at an easy pace with several short stops to enjoy the views.

We especially welcome anyone who hasn't ridden a bike for a while & is looking to build their confidence.
