If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
Starting from Bamber Bridge, this is a pleasant, seven mile, tree-lined "roll" on dedicated cycle lanes heading for Preston’s Avenham Park. The ride then heads over the Ribble on the Liverpool Road bridge then follows the northern bank of the river before retracing its steps back to Bamber Bridge. Avenham Park is one of Preston's gems; a riverside park built in the Victorian golden age of park building with beautiful Japanese gardens and plenty to do for families. Best of all, the route is largely traffic-free, meaning you can safely enjoy the peace and quiet of this riverside retreat.

    A brilliant ride through the countryside. We have been along the A6 so many times and had no idea this fab cycle route was hidden behind the trees. Kids will sleep well tonight, thank you!!
