About ten miles from Blackpool lies Over Wyre. a district totally indifferent to its somewhat overpowering neighbour. This ride starts in Stalmine on Moss Side Lane with a chance to enjoy some of the best countryside that’s on offer. Pedal along to the old Cartford Arms toll bridge where you’ll be stopped in your tracks for a minimal fee before crossing the A6 at Great Eccleston. Continue on this blissfully rural ride through Salwick, past Bartle Hall then Woodplumpton, crossing the Lancaster Canal three times before arriving at the ever popular Roots cafe via Blackleach Lane. Indulge yourself before returning to Stalmine visiting Bilsborrow and the pleasing market town of Garstang.  Don’t allow the relentless Skitham Lane dampen your enthusiasm as you roll up and down on its ultra smooth surface.  It’s 33 miles, flat, and it’s well worth the effort.
