A ride from Robin Park to Leigh to watch the final stage of the Women's Tour of Britain race.
“There is going to be a fantastic atmosphere with plenty of activity down at the LSV on Sunday 9 June, so make sure to come down, have fun and support the riders!”
This is a mainly traffic free canal side ride starting from Robin Park along the Leeds Liverpool Canal and including a section of National Cycling Network’s Route 55 through to Leigh
The ride is approximately 24 miles and uses cycle paths, canal towpaths and quiet roads and is suitable for hybrids and mountain bikes although if there has been a lot of rain recently there could be some muddy puddles to add to the fun!! There are some lock gates to navigate along the way and a few inclines to climb (but we aren’t too proud to push if necessary) before a well deserved stop at Leigh to watch the race finale.
There will be plenty of rest stops and its advisable to bring along a drink and a spare inner tube just in case (if you don’t have one don’t let this stop you from taking part). Also please wear a helmet and make sure you have suitable clothing.
Please log on and register on the ride to secure a place. Any questions contact the group or post in the conversation tab
