Distance The ride is 7.7 miles out to Hadlow Rd, Willaston and will be a Grade D ride. With a return route back to Thurstaston of 7.7 miles. 15.4 in total.
Meeting We will be meeting at Thurstaston Visitor Centre at 10:30 for a 11:00 depart.
Possible obstacles There are no hills on this ride, the majority of the route is on the Wirral Way itself. This event is celebrating the opening of the Wirral Way and therefore there maybe some delays due to the number of people out joining in the event.
Route is Wirral Way from Thurstaston Visitor Centre to Hadlow Rd return
Lunch will be at Station Masters cafe however you are very welcome to bring your own lunch and have a picnic on the platform area, about 12:30, which we as a group have visited on a number of times over recent years, I have let the cafe know we are stopping for lunch. Should you have any dietary needs then please contact the cafe and make your own individual arrangements. 0151 345 0910
Hazards Riding a bicycle on public roads is inherently a risk, from busy traffic, you can mitigate those risks by being aware of other road users and anticipating their likely actions. If you have not done so then please do read the WCG guide and Risk Assessment policy
After Lunch I will be returning back to Thurstaston via Wirral Way
Trains I would advise you to bring money for both your lunch and the train (Hooton) should you choose to use them.
