Breezing to Southport and Beyond! - Breezing all the way! - a whole day out on your bike

Join us on the this whole day Sunday ride from either start of Hamilton Square station, Birkenhead and get the train over to James Street station to meet the group at the Pier Head Ferry terminal for a 9.30am start. Our route then will take us along the Liverpool/Leeds Canal to Formby and along to Ainsdale arriving about 11.45am for a coffee and meet the rest of the group Please note whilst the cafe is a lovely stop the service can be slow and we aim to leave here at 12.15. From here we cycle into Southport on the coast path, onto Banks, then across the country roads to Hesketh Bank where my very kind sister Rachael will provide a sandwich lunch with cake and tea and coffee at her house near Tarleton. Sarah Stringfellow one of the local BREEZE champions is cycling from Vietnam to Cambodia in 3 weeks time to raise funds for Breast Cancer UK and Sarah is assisting of the ride today. If you are happy to give a donate for this lunch and a small raffle that would be great - please dont feel you have to do this and bring your own lunch if you wish to. Our route after lunch then continues back to Ormskirk where you can get the train back to Liverpool Today's ride will be about 60 miles but there are various options to get the train back at certain points. We will plan to have the whole day out for this ride and make the best of a Sunday's cycle in the Autumn! I will email everyone on Friday/Saturday with an update on the weather forecast. Please bring water and a spare inner tube with you as well as appropriate outerwear for rain Due to the different paths and road including a forest this ride includes I would suggest a hybrid or mountain bike is suitable for today Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or mobile 07729 114055 Sara
