This is one of our favourite flat rides to enjoy: a steady ride to Blackpool for some traditional fish, chips & ice cream.

We'll ride out from Longridge to Blackpool on the back roads before riding all down the coast to Lytham St Annes & our favourite fish & chip café.

As part of our process of continuous improvement we're coming back a slightly different way, looping around to Kirkham & Treales before picking up the Guild Wheel route to the north of Preston and on to Grimsargh before picking up the old route back into Longridge.

This should be a lot more enjoyable as we're avoiding the busy Warton to Preston stretch.


This will be a lovely ride with something for everyone.
We'll ride at a steady pace of 11-12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together & have a really pleasant ride.

Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready.
Please ensure you have all the parts for your bike - pump, spare tube, multi tool. Your bike is your responsibility! Phone, money too. You are your responsibility!
Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone.

If you book on this ride & can't make it, please have the courtesy to cancel your place, so someone else can take it.

It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you. I'm a British Cycling Ride Leader leading guided rides & I'm also a trained route planner - I enjoy my cycling & appreciate it even more when I have people to ride with. Our group is called the FC's - Friendly Cyclists, where all the Ride Leaders are trained & certified.
