We'll leave Pennington and head towards Lowton. We'll cycle through Ashton and Stubshaw Cross and past Three Sisters Recreation area. We'll then head out towards Billinge where we'll find some fantastic descents and gorgeous surroundings. We'll pick up the Rainford road and head towards our stop for a drink and a bite to eat at The Junction. We'll leave here and pick up the Rainford bypass and on towards the East Lancs cycle path which will bring us back to Leigh. Please bring a spare inner tube if you have one or a puncture repair kit. Please dress to suit the weather and bring some money for drinks etc. It's advisable to wear a helmet and we usually carry a drink and snacks for longer rides.
