Fylde Cycling (clubs routes etc)

[TwoToeBenny]

Looking for some info on the Fylde area, having used the search engine there used to be a Freckleton group but cant find anything online for that so perhaps its stopped... anyone know of much in the area of Lytham/St Annes? or failing that anyone got any good routes around that area up to 60-70 miless?

For flat rides, the network of roads crisscrossing the Fylde is ideal.

If you like hills, you have some great rides into the Forest of Bowland and back which would be in a 60-70 mile range. I definitely recommend checking out the Trough of Bowland, Cross of Greet, Bowland Knotts, Waddington Fell, Beacon Fell, and Longridge Fell.

Take a look at [click here] cycle.travel, a great help in planning cycle routes.

How fit are you? If you need more help planning and could manage a very hilly 60-70 mile route, I could work one out for you taking in some of those fantastic hills.

Here is one... (107 km/66 miles) to the Trough of Bowland and back.

Oh I like that cycle.travel link. Just tried for it my daughters in Leuchars Fife and it came with a few routes.
Cheers.👍

Another route, this time over Waddington and Beacon Fells - 112 km/70 miles, CLICK HERE. There is a visitor centre with a cafe on Beacon Fell.

To keep rides down to 60-70 miles and include the more distant climbs, you would have to start and finish somewhere closer, such as Longridge.

I see you waited less than 22 mins for a reply and went ahead anyway 🤣
