(D) Thornton Hough to Brimstage via Parkgate

10:00 Sunday November 30 2025

Current Participants: 6 space(s) available

    This is a gentle D paced 22 mile ride, with 850 feet of climbing, starting from Thornton Hough village hall and finishing at Brimstage Courtyard for lunch. We will travel via Raby, Willaston, Burton shore, up Denhall Lane to Neston and take a break at Parkgate. From Parkgate we will climb up through Gayton and Heswall and then follow the cycleway to Cottage Loaf roundabout before cutting back through Irby and Pensby to Brimstage.

    Provisional route is on Komoot  – https://www.komoot.com/tour/1385679703

    Riders will make their own way home from Brimstage

    So distance and pace will be comfortable, but some well known climbs to justify an extra slice of cake.

    The ride will be led by Dave Branch, who will be at Thornton Hough at 9.45 for 10 am start. Any questions I can be contacted on 07754 776566 or dgbranch@hotmail.co.uk
