This ride will leave Robin Park to join the Leeds and Liverpool canal towpath to cycle past Wigan Pier and climb up some of the locks of the Wigan flight to Whelley Loop Line which connects to the new Bee Network multi user path extension to Hall Lane. From Hall Lane we cycle past the Cherry Gardens to Beech Hill and join the new multi user path to Standish where we join Standish Mineral Line to Old Pepper Lane and then quiet country lanes to Eccleston Delph.
We will have short stops en route and will have a longer stop for refreshments at the dive centre (www.thedelph.com) so please bring drinks and snacks or money to buy them.
The return journey will be on quiet country lanes through to Parbold where we will join the towpath and cycle back to Robin Park.
This ride will be challenging for beginners due to the various climbs on the route.
The ride is a mixture of canal towpath, quiet country lanes with numerous gradients, a short stretch of busy main road and newly laid tarmac cycle paths along woodland trails.
