Doffing the cap to last year’s fantastic day out to see the TDF at Buttertubs, we will once again be heading North on Saturday 11th July. Leaving the Plough petrol station at 8:00 am heading for the Ingleton car park (postcode LA6 3HG) by 9:30 am. The ride heads east out of Ingleton, past White Scar Caves, via the Ribblehead viaduct before approaching Hawes and the Buttertubs climb. We will then traverse a clockwise loop of approximately 15 miles before returning to Hawes for lunch. Once fed we will return to Ingleton and then home. Total ride is approximately 60 miles with a couple of tough climbs. Pace will be steady throughout. Expect to be back in Southport around 4:30 pm.
We will be using a new meeting point for the start of Saturday morning club runs.

Ben Gautrey Ride starting at Meols Hall at 8.00.am. Various rides – see the web site for more details
Event Overview
The Ben Gautrey Challenge events are a flat 30km or a more challenging 50km route starting and finishing at Meols Hall. Both anti clockwise routes take in some of the quietest roads in the area which riders of any ability will enjoy.
The shorter 30km route is easily achievable by anybody and will appeal to family groups/less experienced riders for example, and can be punctuated with stop at one of the many pubs on the route.
The 50km route with require more fitness as the longer route and more challenging terrain could catch any total novices out; again there are several pubs, cafes etc which can punctuate the route should you choose. The quiet nature of this area will ensure you can explore the area in peace, giving you the chance to take in the constant changing landscape and enchanting views.
Both rides are quiet routes taking you through the beautiful local countryside that we sometimes take for granted.
