Candy Floss and Ice Cream

Description

202km permanent cycling event starting from Longridge.

You can use E-Brevet proof of passage on this event

You can use GPS proof of passage. Please select the correct option when entering.

From Longridge head north to Glasson Dock and the first control then south and west to Knott End for the ferry across the River Wyre to Fleetwood. The ferry is tide dependent and you must factor this in when deciding your date and timing. It does cross each way every 30 mins, approx 15 mins and 45 min past the hour. Current cost is £2.00 with 50p extra for a bike. This is the second control but there is no ticket on the ferry so grab a receipt from a nearby shop. From Fleetwood join the Promenade for the next few Km south past Blackpool Tower and Pleasure Beach. Cyclists are allowed on the Prom' but please be considerate of pedestrians, dog walkers and children. The prevailing wind direction is westerly along this section of coast and it can be fierce! Third control at or around Lytham services then east to Preston including a short section of NSL road/dual carriageway (optional adjacent cycle path/lane is available). Turn southwest at Preston for a longer section of NSL road/dual carriageway bashing (again with cycle path) past Southport to the fourth control at Formby services. Turn east here on much quieter roads towards the only significant section of climbing just beyond Parbold - the 110 m ascent of Stoney Lane! After cresting the top, the final control at Heath Charnock is reached after 14km where Frederick's Ice Cream Parlour will provide a receipt (and lovely ice cream!). From here north on the A6 through Chorley to Preston, which you skirt, to end in Longridge. An editable routesheet and GPS link will be available with Brevet. Travel in either direction and start at any control or anywhere along the route if validating using GPS or the new eBrevet app.
