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

We follow quiet roads and cycle tracks in the lovely West Lancs Countryside, Liverpool, and the Wirral. Rides are of 20/25 miles, at a comfortable pace, with plenty of stops including at a cafe.

You can join our WhatsApp chat group named "Bikers United" where, prior to a Ride, all the communications are done eg routes and weather.

This 25-mile round trip to Ainsdale included a stop for lunch at the Tipple Bar.

We usually meet up at Ormskirk Railway Station (but can pick up other riders if necessary at the Derby Arms, Aughton or Abbey Farm depending on the ride location). We meet up normally at 10.00, unless notified on Sunday on Whatsapp. If it is 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 or icy conditions.

We don’t exclude ebikes and some members now have them.

Bring a cycling helmet, Hi-Vis clothing, spare tube, a first aid kit and a few vital tools, please.

Depending on the number of regular riders, we are sometimes at 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.
