Over 2,800 people rolled up with their bikes to take part in the 18th annual Liverpool Chester Liverpool Bike Ride, the highest number of entrants in the event’s history. 

 


The ride, organised by Pennine Events, attracted an abundance of people from across the North West, including amateur and pro cyclists, families enjoying a day out together,  groups of friends and individuals all cycling for a personal challenge, a fundraising challenge or just to enjoy a day out on a glorious sunny day.


and you don’t just take our word for it - amongst the riders was Mark Jones who commented: “It was my first time taking part in the Liverpool to Chester Bike Ride and it certainly won’t be my last. I did the 54 mile route and loved every single moment. The organisation was great and the whole day was an amazing experience”.  To see all the other rider comments visit our facebook page.

 

Starting at Old Haymarket, just outside the Birkenhead Tunnel entrance, the mass-participation bike ride is the only event in the country with exclusive access to the tunnel, allowing participants to cycle underneath the River Mersey, something which is not possible the rest of the year. 

The ride featured a family ride of 25 miles, a community ride of 30 miles, a challenge ride of 54 miles and a sportive route of 90 miles.


Mark Sandamas, Director of Pennine Events said: “This year's Liverpool Chester Liverpool Bike Ride was a great success with a record number of people turning up to take part. We were so pleased to see so many people turn out to take part in the ride, with cycling pros and novices alike saddling up to support the 18th annual event.
