Why not join in this canal side ride from Trencherfield Mill taking in the delights of Leeds Liverpool Canal - Leigh Branch all the way to the outskirts of Pennington.Children are welcome on this ride if they can make the distance but helmets must be worn by under 18's and bikes are not provided (if you are unsure of your child's ability why not take them on one of the shorter rides first to assess).

This ride is along the canal and it is relatively flat with a few bridges to negotiate and a short section along the road to the rest stop. The trail is a mixture of imprinted concrete, crushed gravel paths. It is suitable for Ebikes, mountain bikes and hybrids without slick tyres. Wouldn't advise anyone to attend with a road bike. We ride at a social pace and never leave anyone behind.

We will be stopping midway at the park café for lunch so please bring money with you.

It is advisable to bring a spare inner tube and a lock.As always we recommend wearing a helmet.Bring water and any snacks you may need for along the way.

First-timers welcome!
