Court Hey Park to Croxteth

Sky Ride Local in Knowsley

This 11 mile wander begins in the lush grounds of Court Hey Park, next to the National Wildlife Centre. From there we ride out through the estate making our way to the traffic free National Cycle Network 62. Route 62 is a perfect ride for those wanting a traffic free environment and tranquil scenery. We ride this for nearly 3 miles before jumping off at West Derby making our way towards the leafy Croxteth Park. Riding on cycle paths we tour the park, circulating Croxteth Hall where we could stop for a refreshing drink or slice before returning on route 62 all the way back to our origin at Court Hey Park.

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.

Meet the Ride Leaders

• Steve OConnor I am passionate about cycling about helping people enjoy what is an amazing pass time and sport.
  
  After getting seriously into cycling myself only 2 years ago I trained hard and completed my First 100 mile ride last year.... This years challenges for me are the Tour of the Peaks Ride and a charity ride from London To Liverpool...... Cycling is an amazing way to meet people and get fit whatever your ability with the only side effect being getting fitter and being happier...
• Susan MacKell I've always cycled but only got back into riding regularly in the last couple of years. I try to get out at least once a week either on my own, with my family or leading Breeze rides which I've been doing for a year now - I've also signed up to lead Sky Rides this year. I love exploring new places, especially countryside, woodlands and coastal routes - its all about getting out in the fresh air and getting a bit fitter in the process (without a gym machine in sight!) and maybe make some new friends along the way.
  (Oh - and try and find some nice tea and cake stops en route!)
