Monster Blackpool Ride !

Saturday 10th March 2018 10:00am

Starting from - Starting from the usual spot opposite where Pontins used to be , we head north again to Cleveleys and head inland through Thornton and Little Thornton , then over the Shard bridge to Out Rawcliffe , then heading through Great Eccleston and Elswick before looping back through Thistleton , Singleton , and Staining . We then cut through Stanley Park and head back to the prom close to North Pier . At this point if the weather is poor we will head south to the start point and cut the ride short , if it is ok we head north again to Cleveleys before turning back .
The full ride comes in at 41 miles which is probably the top end of what we do on Saturdays especially at this time of year , climbing around 1700 ft . There is a bit of trail but it is passable on a road bike , its also suitable for cx ,hybrids , most of this ride is on the road or smooth prom . It is never a race on Saturdays we ride at a nice social pace averaging 10/11 mph .
Please check over your bikes the night before and make sure you have tubes to suit your bike and a means to inflate them . New riders are always welcome but beware of how far this ride is .
P.s. there is also a toll bridge on this ride , it was 20 p last time I did it so keep some change handy !!, FY8 2SU
