Let's Ride - FLAB Social Ride Liverpool - The Sefton Circular

Starting point

We'll meet in the car park near the outside gym equipment. Full address is Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre, Crosby Coastal Park, The Esplanade, off Cambridge Rd, Waterloo, Merseyside L22 1RR.

If you're coming by train, you can use either Waterloo or Blundellsands and Crosby. Head towards the prom and cycle along to the start point. There is plenty of on street parking around Marine Terrace or you can use the (pay) car parks near the Adventure Centre.

The Sefton Circular is a 24 mile long predominately off road cycle route which explores the wonderful Sefton Coast in addition to the Cheshire Lines path which links Maghull to Ainsdale. We will cycle through pine woods, alongside Antony Gormley’s statues, pass through Rimrose Valley, cycle alongside the Leeds Liverpool Canal and follow the line of the former Cheshire Lines railway.

The Sefton Circular route provides the perfect opportunity to explore miles of beaches and sand dunes, woodland and estuary by bike. We'll stop for a hot drink and some cake in Formby, so don't forget to bring a bit of cash with you.

Come and join us. The canal path will be a bit muddy in parts at this time of year, so grippier tyres are better and this ride is best enjoyed on a hybrid or mountain bike. Bring some warm waterproof clothing (just in case it rains...), a spare inner tube that fits your bike, a pump, a bit of cash for the coffee stop and some water.
