Petes Preston / Lytham Twist

Petes Preston / Lytham Twist
We'll have a ride out together on one of Pete Welsh's favourite routes & calling at two of his favourite cafe's. Pete was one of the original FC's & everyone who new him was grateful to call him a friend. He will be missed by us all.
This ride is for Friendly Cyclists, Satdy Club & Mid week riders.

This is one of Pete's routes he put together for us a few years ago , starting off at the guild Wheel at Frenchwood Recreation Area , we follow the guild wheel out to Riversway where we detour up to Roots café for those who fancy a coffee . We then head to Lytham St Annes through Kirkham , where we will have dinner at The Lowther Pavilion , before heading back along quiet roads. The ride is 39 miles and suited to road bikes , hybrids , CX bikes as is mostly on tarmac cycle paths and roads .

We'll ride at a steady pace of 11 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together & have a really pleasant ride. This is a flat ride with a few bumps suitable for road bikes & hybrids with road tyres. If you are unsure of your bikes suitability, please get in touch before the ride.

Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready. Please ensure you have all the parts for your bike - pump, spare tube, multi tool. Your bike is your responsibility! Phone, money too. You are your responsibility!
Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone.
