FAQ

Can I just show up without booking?

Yes, you can for the first 2 rides but do need to become a club member after that.

How fit do I need to be?

The rides average 8 miles, with various stops for the group to catch up.

Is there a cost?

Club membership is £3 for all. Youth club has a session cost, depending on whether they are a member or not.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

For the first few rides just yourself, a working bike and a helmet! Longer term you'll need to be responsible for yourself with puncture kits, spare tubes, etc.

What about parking?

The main visitor centre charges are available here. Regular visitors would benefit from an annual membership that includes free parking at Delamere. There's also lots of free parking on Ashton Road.

Do you ride at night?

Yes, the regular rides continue through winter, with good quality lights required.

Are e-bikes allowed?

Of course.
