Harrowside

This is a one off opportunity to participate in a Sky Ride Local culminating in watching the finish of the 2nd stage of the Tour of Britain! All participants will receive a free Team Sky cap!

The route is a 20 mile road route starting and finishing at the Solaris Centre on Blackpool's South Shore, heading south on the promenade passing Lytham St Annes and following the path of the Ribble estuary. At Lytham, you'll head inland through Wrea Green, Moss Side and Higher Ballam before finally retracing your steps back to the start on the South Shore. Highlights along the route include great seaside views south across the Ribble estuary towards Southport and the quintessentially English sight of cricket on the village green of Wrea Green. There are also numerous stopping points along the route, with cafes at Lytham St Annes pier, Fairhaven lake and Lowther Gardens. There's also a pub stop at the Grapes Pub in pretty Wrea Green.
