Breezing to Lytham

The route takes us around the quiet lanes north of Preston passing through small Hamlets, before heading to Lytham for coffee or maybe an ice cream. We start off from Avenham Pavilion and proceed along the Guildwheel to Cottam where we leave the path and take some quiet lanes to Kirkham where a small climb awaits. Once through Kirkham we rejoin quiet lanes to Lytham and Lowther Pavilion for coffee. After coffee we head to Lytham green, pass the windmill and retrace our steps back to Kirkham. A smaller hill to climb this time followed by a fast descent down Carr lane then a great flat run back to Uclan.
We will aim for an average speed of 10-11 miles an hour.

This is a steady ride aimed at women who are confident on a bike and wish to extend the length of their rides.

This routes is mainly on quiet country lanes north of preston. . All bikes are suitable for this terrain but must be in a road worthy condition.

We will take a breather at the UCLAN sports arena where we can take advantage of the facilities. Our main stop for coffee will be at the Lowther pavilion. However ther will be plenty of opportunities to stop catch our breath and maybe take a picture or two.

Please bring some water and a snack and be prepared for cold/ wet weather conditions. Riders are advised to wear a helmet and it is compulsory for those under 18 to wear a helmet. Prior to the start of the ride there will be a short bike check and safety brief but please make sure that your bike is in working order before joining the ride. Please carry a spare inner tube and tools necessary to carry out a puncture repair

We are a small friendly group of women who enjoy a social ride around the scenic lanes in the area and a friendly chat over coffee. We love to welcome new members and we never leave anyone behind.
