Cycling

We are a Summer cycling group running into Autumn and nice bright Winter days, with a variety of rides of 20 – 25 miles, mostly flat! The rides are mainly along country lanes and off-road tracks where possible, with most taking 2 – 3 hours.

Meet up at Ormskirk Railway Station (but can pick up other riders if neccessary at the Derby Arms , Aughton, or Abbey Farm depending on the ride location)
Usually Monday (but check on our WhatsApp chat)
Start time usually 10 o'clock (but check on our WhatsApp chat)
  • Leader:  Tegwyn Hughes - 07501 878338
  • We have a WhatsApp chat group named "Bikers United" where, prior to a Ride, all the communications are done - routes, weather and plenty of banter. (But no political stuff, please).

We follow quiet roads and cycle  tracks in the lovely West Lancs Countryside, Liverpool, and the Wirral.

  • We meet up normally at 10.00, unless notified on Sunday on Whatsapp.
  • If its lashing with rain or even if the forecast predicts heavy rain into the ride, we don’t go out. This also applies to high winds/icy conditions.
  • Rides are of 20/25  miles, at a comfortable pace, with plenty of stops including at a cafe.
  • We don’t exclude ebikes and about 8 members now have them.
  • Bring a cycling helmet, Hi Vis clothing, spare tube, a first aid kit and a few vital tools, please.
  • Remember – Bikes are Best!

We have 10/12 regular riders and so are at almost full capacity for safety. Nevertheless, new applications are welcome and will be considered for when we have space available. Contact the Leader to go on the list of cyclists.
