We leave our start point and cycle on paths to Bamberbridge where we pick up the cycle way through Ceurden valley. This takes us to Buckshaw where again we use cyclepaths to reach langdale road. It is now a short run down hill on a wide quiet road to reach Worden park and our coffee stop. From Worden Park we join the leyland loop cycle way to Longmeany gate,this is a lovely section following the River Lostock, we then take to the road for a few hundred yards before rejoining the cycle way to Croston road in Lostock hall. After anothe short section on quiet roads we join gravel paths to the Leyland Tank and then head for penwortham on quiet lanes. here we take to quiet lanes and cycle paths to return to our stating point.

This is a lovely route around South Ribbles cycle ways. It is aimed at women who want to lengthen their rides without taking to road riding.

The route is on cycle paths and gravel lanes with only very short sections on roads. it is suitable for hybrids and mountain bikes

We have a planned coffee stop at Worden park but as always we can stop along the way to take a breather, just ask.

Please bring some water, a snack and some money if you wish to purchase food or drink at the coffee stop. Be prepared forwarm/ wet weather conditions. Riders are advised to wear a helmet and it is compulsory for those under 18 to wear a helmet. Please carry a spare inner tube and tools necessary to carry out a puncture repair 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.

This is small friendly group who enjoy cycling along the scenic paths of Preston and south Ribble. We never leave anyone behind
