The way points of this bicycle route:
Start at the junction of Blackpool Road and Ribbleton Avenue, heading towards Longridge.
Continue over the M6 bridge.
Caution at the narrow railway bridge.
Turn left, following signs for Haighton Manor, at the corner of the village green.
Steepish descent, followed by climb around a sharp bend. Caution!
Continue along this reasonably winding road towards Fulwood.
Cross the M6 once more. Frequent fine views of the congestion at Junction 32 / M55 Junction 1.
Turn left onto Eastway. This road has a 40 mph limit. Nervous people with a penchant for punctures may prefer to follow the Sustrans NCN 6 into Fulwood. However, you're going downhill for most of the way so you are unlikely to annoy non-lunatic drivers.
Eastway has a 40 mph limit. Beware of mad drivers!
Turn left onto Watling Street Road towards Brookfield and Ribbleton.
One of the only right turns on this route: turn into Cromwell Road.
Regular speed humps and an idiot who keeps parking his van in the cycle path.
At the traffic lights, turn right onto Ribbleton Avenue back towards the start.
