We start off from the pavilion café in avenham park and head clockwise round the Guildwheel to UCLAN Sports Arena. At the next road we leave the Guildwheel and head west to Lea then turn northwards passing through Treales and Wharles . WE stop just before Elswick for coffee then continue toward Elswick and head East to Inskip. On reaching Inskip we head south to Clifton then head east back to where we left the Guildwheel path. We the rejoin the cyclepath and make our way back to the pavilion. The route is mainly flat with some small inclines to try out our climbing legs.

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.

The majority of this ride will be on quiet country lanes.

We will be stopping at Saswick farm café and shop where we can enjoy coffee on the patio and say hello to the resident donkey Chocolate.

Please bring some water and a snack and some money if you wish to purchase food and/or drink at the coffee stop. 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

This is 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.
