3rd Sunday ride – Through the Mersey Tunnel to the Eureka @ Meet at Ainsdale Police Station
Nov 20 @ 9:00 am – 3:45 pm

The annual November ride through the Mersey tunnel, across the Wirral to the famous Eureka cycle cafe. A run across the Wirral to New Brighton ( maybe an ice cream stop somewhere) and then back through the Tunnel.

Recommended to have lights (at the least a rear light for the trip through the tunnel) as it may well be going dark by the time we are coming home.

See here for a description of 2014’s ride.
