Before the ride, check out the page on our website about taking part in one of our rides "Taking Part", and read 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.

(D) HSQ to Thornton Hough for Ride Leader meeting.

10:00 Wednesday October 29 2025

Current Participants: 6 space(s) available

    This ride begins at 10am from Hamiton Square train station. We will ride down the east side of the peninsula, using the NCN 56 as far as Port Sunlight. Here ,we will join the old cycle path up to Bromborough. At Eastham Woods, we can have a short 10 minute ‘banana break’. Toilets are available.

    From here, it is uphill until Eastham village- this is about the only incline, of the ride. Then onto the Missing Link, Hooton- a short stretch along the Wirral Way until Hadlow Station. The last furlong will then be through Willaston to our destination: Thornton Hough Village Hall. The distance is about 15 miles. A lot of the route is on shared paths or cycling lanes. Some quiet roads. We cross the busy A41 twice but will use the pedestrian crossings (as pedestrians)! to cross, safely.

     

     

    Peter has organised a meeting at the Village Hall  for Ride Leaders/Backmarkers  with  everybody welcome to attend- at 12.30 pm were a complimentary buffet lunch will be provided for attendees. If you have any dietary requirements then please contact Peter Williams or the cafe direct on 0151 336 1958.

    The meeting closes at 1,30 pm. Attendees can either make their own way home or you would be welcome to join me heading back to Birkenhead Hamilton Square. This will probably be via Brimstage, Levers Causeway, Prenton, as this is the most direct route. The return journey is about 10 miles.
