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

CANCELLED! (D) Bromborough Station to Nets Cafe (suitable for newcomers)

10:00 Wednesday September 27 2023

Current Participants: 2 space(s) available

    A grade D ride of just under 25 miles, suitable for newcomers to our group, from Bromborough Railway Station to Nets Cafe via Bromborough Village, Port Sunlight, Storeton, up Landican Lane to Thingwall, Pensby and Heswall, then down to Parkgate and Neston before stopping for lunch at Nets Cafe by Burton Marshes.  NB: There are no facilities for eating your own food at Nets cafe, but their food is excellent and good value for money.  There are some seats on Station Road overlooking the marsh about 1/3 mile further along the route where you can sit to eat your own food.  There are some sections of the ride on compacted gravel (up Landican Lane and along the Wirral Way), but most of the ride is on paved roads.  After lunch we will return to Bromborough Station via Burton, Willaston and Eastham.

    The ride starts at 10:00 am from outside Bromborough Railway station on Allport Road.  If you come by car don’t be tempted to leave your car in the Merebrook public house car park (you will get a hefty fine).  The ride leaders (Sheila Coetzee and Janet Coventry) will be at the start from 09:45.  Please aim get to the start early, as we will leave on the dot at 10:00.
