Sky Ride Local in Liverpool

Otterspool Promenade to Sefton Park is a scenic ride through some of South Liverpool's loveliest places.  The ride begins at Otterspool Promenade where you will see some of the finest sights the city has to offer, the River Mersey looks spectacular on a sunny day and you will see plenty of sailing boats and kites. You will take a ride through the festival gardens which boasts the beautiful Oriental Gardens and lake. We cycle through Sefton Park past the boating lake which is full of swans and ducks. In spring you might be lucky enough to see the thousands of daffodils that surround the lake too. The ride finish through the beautiful Otterspool Park, completing our scenic tour of south Liverpool's gorgeous parklands and cycle routes.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Vincent Milhench Vincent Milhench I've been riding all my life. Took up mountain biking in 1990 and absolutely love it. I organise mid week social rides, generally on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday is mountain bike day and Thursday is quite road day for any type of bike, lunch is nearly always at a pub.
    If you're interested I also do kayaking and have done this for over 30 years.
