21 miles!

I have been with our daughter & son in law on the Guild Wheel today.
The Guild Wheel is a 21 mile circular route around Preston. It was constructed especially to commemorate the 2012 Preston Guild.
The path takes you through Ladywell Woods, through Ribbleton , London road, Avenham Park, Preston Docks . Cottam & back via Broughton Village.
The amazing thing is you would never dream you are in such a busy area as most of the path is along the River Ribble in tree lined little paths.
I enjoyed it so much & the weather was perfect!

Three good things:
1. The invention of cycling shorts!!!!
2. The smell of hot cross buns as we cycled behind Asda.
3. Fish & Chip supper in the village chippy later!

Good for you! Sure wish there were better trails near home for me

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh that sounds like a great idea!! A diverse route like that is fun to cycle. 21 miles is quite a trek Pat - well earned Chish and Fips.

[Sean O'Neill]

Very energetic. Cycling in a circle must be a good thing. Enjoy your Fish and Chimps. Will you be having Mushy Bees? That's one of my favourite jokes :)

[Pat Knowles]

@jgpittenger @judithg @seanoneill I must be a glutton for punishment, it's our monthly 5 mile walk tomorrow too!!

[Jean Tookey]

What a great day ! Exercise, hot cross buns and fish and chips sounds good to me ! Enjoy your walk tomorrow.

[Barbara Paquette]

Oh Pat, I don't think I could keep up with you!!! Thank you for sharing your pictures, I can live vicariously.

[Juliette Packham]

Great diary shot - sounds like a great path to cycle along. love your 3 things...especially the hot cross buns smells...feeling hungry now

[Gillian]

Sounds glorious. The perfect way to spend some family time.

[Maggiemae]

I would love to cycle along asphalt paths! This is where you have to get off or wiggle your way through, overbalance and fall off!

[Fanny Brogden]

What a brilliant idea.how lovely oh boy have you just cycled 21 miles? i stand in awe!!! Love Seans remark fish and chimps and mushy bees!! what a clot!!!

[Judith Johnson]

It sounds ideal and looks like you had a good day for it.

[karenann]

That makes me want to cycle that route, get some photo ops and then have a great fish and chips dinner!

[Peggy Sirk]

Well done, Pat! You deserve that celebratory fish and chips after clocking 21 miles!

[Rick Schies]

It sounds like an ideal bike path

[Vicki Dixon]

it sounds like an awesome time! I love biking! I want to go with you next time

[James Verdi]

Great catch. Twenty one miles is a good distance, do you cycle often? I hope the route was fairly level.

[Phil Howcroft]

[Myrna O'Hara]
