Day Riders

25- 30 mile rides

As the first Cycling Group to be formed we  began nearly ten years ago when our U3A started in Maghull. We simply called ourselves  the Cycling Group.

In April we took the train to St Michaels, cycled thro’ the festival gardens to the prom along to Otterspool park and then to Sefton park where he Marie Curie ‘Field of Hope’ daffodils were in full bloom, returning after coffee by the same route. An alternative route from St Michaels involves turning right at the prom, cycling to the Pier Head for coffee then picking up the canal at the Eldonian village locks and following it back to Maghull.
