    Our route takes us from Thornton Hough through Raby, Ledsham, Capenhurst, Dunkirk Road onto A5117, Little Stanney, Stoak and Mickle Trafford where we will stop for a banana break. After Mickle Trafford and Cuilden Sutton we will join the Tarvin Road A51 and ride along the pavement as this is a very busy road. Turning left towards Great Barrow and The Bluebell cafe for lunch. I will request a menu in order that we can pre order and save a little time.

    When leaving we will turn left then immediately right along the B5132 eventually turning left onto Morley Lane. A short stretch along the A51 and turning right onto B5132 towards Thornton Le Moors. We will cross the A51 and join the cycle path and exit at Dunham Road travelling toward Capenhurst, then the usual way back to Thornton Hough, although some may wish to leave the ride earlier to go back home.

    Ride leader. David Williams.
