Croston’s Ancient Bridge

The ride saw Riders from Maghull U3A together with friends from Ormskirk and Aughton U3A tackle a 36 mile ride along roads, bridlepaths and farm tracks around the Heskin, Croston and Rufford area.
The weather stayed dry and sunny with little wind, a good average speed was maintained. Our cafe stop at The Velo Cafe in Croston was most welcome.
Next week the group will meet at Booths in Burscough to drive to Preston and ride The Guild Wheel, a circular route around Preston.
