Southport Fish Chips & Ice Cream Ride

Starting from outside Leyland we'll head off to Tarleton and through the MeanyGates & marshes to get on the coast road to Southport, where we'll stop for a fish & chip lunch.

After 8 miles on the coast road we go past Royal Birkdale & Formby Golf Clubs & head inland past the Martin Mere Wetland Centre before going up through Holmeswood, through Tarleton and back to Leyland.

It's a flat ride on B roads & country lanes through some magnificent scenery & should be enjoyed by everyone.


Please be ready to ride by 9.45.

During this year I will be raising money for the charity Bliss that supports families and premature babies in neonatal care. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause - which would be very much appreciated - please click on the Just Giving link below.
