West Lancs Wanderer
This is one of the earliest rides created for the FC's West Lancs Weekday Riders and features some scenic lanes around West Lancashire.
We start from the car park at Dobbies garden centre and then head out towards Scarisbrick and Bescar we touch the edge of Burscough before having a bit of a leg stretch and arriving at Rufford where we will take a break at Fettlers Wharf.
We will then head up into Mawdesley and Bispham Green to Westhead swinging around Ormskirk to Aughton followed by a quick trip over Clieve's Hill and then across the Moss back to the start point at Dobbies Car Park.
We'll ride at a steady pace of 10 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together.
Remember, this is not a race, but a leisurely ride at a pace to suit the slowest in the group!
Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, helmet & lights checked and ready.
Please ensure you have a pump and a couple of spare tubes in case of punctures and a good secure lock.
It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you.
Please be at the start point at least 15 mins before the ride start time, (9.45) ready to ride, so that we are able to get away at the stated start time
