This is ride is open to all members of the group, but is also suitable for people who have not previously ridden with a cycling group, so that they can get experience of riding with a group and so we can assess their requirements and advise them on how to continue.

Don't worry that you haven’t ridden in a group before, there is nothing difficult; we will explain what we do and how riding in a group is different from riding on your own before we start.  And in particular, don’t be concerned about the pace of the ride and not being able to keep up; the ride leader will adjust the pace of the ride to suit the group as we go along.  And we always have an official back marker; so no one will get left behind.

Before the ride, check out the page on our website about taking part in one of our rides "Taking Part", and take a look at the Advice from Cycling UK on riding in a group.  If you are new to riding with a group, please arrive 15 minutes before the advertised start time, so that the ride leader can brief you on how to ride safely with a group of other riders. 



You must not join a ride if you or anyone in your household is experiencing any of the Covid-19 symptoms
or if you have been advised to self-isolate

      Our first short break will be on the beach front at Leasowe after six miles.  We plan to stop for the lunch break at the half way point (bring your own sandwiches and drink) at Wallasey Breck; it has a good view, but is in the open air with no café or toilets.  So the final stop before we return to West Kirby will be at Leasowe Common after 17 miles; it has public toilets (30p) and the Green Hut café for a take-away snack and hot or cold drinks.


      Bookings no longer allowed on this date.
