Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
2 hours 45 mins  (2 hours 0 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

We start our ride at Pennington Park. After a quick bike check we'll head off into Pennington Flash where we'll join the Leeds to Liverpool Canal. We'll make our way down the canal towpath into Astley. Once there we'll take the road down to the beautiful surroundings of the old hospital site and visit the cafe at Dam House where you can learn a little about the history of Astley, and of course get a drink and one of their fabulous cakes if you like ! 

We'll then head back to Pennington Flash and return to the park. 

This is a nice gentle ride of approx 14 miles and is mainly flat. Please remember to bring some money for refreshments and a lock to secure your bike.

Any questions, feel free to email Joy or Margaret at  breezenetworklancashire@gmail.com

    Margaret Green Hi I'm Margaret and I've been cycling on and off for the last 10 years or so but now have more time since being lucky enough to retire two years ago!! I enjoy cycling so much and meeting new friends- in fact it's the only exercise that doesn't feel like a punishment to me - and I would love to think I'd encouraged others to enjoy it too.
