Southport Fish Chips & Ice Cream Ride - FC Official Ride

Starting from outside Tarleton Academy we'll head off through the MeanyGates & marshes to get on the coast road to Southport, where we'll stop for an early 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 and back to Tarleton.
It's a flat ride on B roads & country lanes through some magnificent scenery & should be enjoyed by everyone.


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.

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.
If you book on this ride & can't make it, please have the courtesy to cancel your place, so someone else can take it. It would be great to have some new & some familiar faces on this ride, you're all welcome & I look forward to riding with you.
