The Pete Welsh Review
This ride was created in memory of one of our popular FC members, Pete Welsh. It is based on one of his routes from UCLAN to Blackpool and Lytham St Annes. With a few changes it is the reverse of a route created by Craig Atherton.
Meeting at UCLAN Sports Centre, off Tom Benson Way, we head out towards Catford, Round to Elswick then on into Blackpool and a spin along the prom to Starr Gate. Onto the new cycle path through to St Annes by the Pier, with a nod to Les Dawson. Along to Fairhaven and the Spitfire around into Lytham then up to Kirkham and back to UCLAN.
A decision to be made re our lunch stop. Stanley Park, or possibly one of the café’s along the prom at St Anne’s.
We'll ride at a steady pace of 10 - 12 mph on this ride and we'll keep our pace at a level so that we can all stay together.
Remember, this is not a race, but a leisurely ride at a pace to suit the slowest in the group!
Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, helmet & lights checked and ready. Please ensure you have a pump and a couple of spare tubes in case of punctures and a good secure lock.
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.
Please be at the start point at least 15 mins before the ride start time, (9.45) ready to ride, so that we are able to get away at the stated start time of 10.05
