| Mostly level progress, much along the Fylde Coast utilising cycleways on the promenade. From Lytham, the route swings out into the Fylde countryside with a few generally easy inclines amidst farmland and small villages. Passing Singleton, the route turns towards Fleetwood, passing through Thornton on the way. Passing through Fleetwood the route follows the coast again, with a short loop around Rossall before joining the promenade again north Cleveleys from which it is a seaside ride back towards Blackpool's North Pier. | |

| All the main Blackpool coastal sites including 3 piers, the Tower and Pleasure Beach. Further coastal landmarks include St Annes pier and the windmill at Lytham and 2 historical lighthouses in Fleetwood. |

| We really enjoyed this route, having tackled it starting at the tower and going south... The high winds along the front make the start/finish quite hard but the main north-bound section from Lytham is really enjoyable. It's easy to miss the turning from Lytham actually so watch out for that. All inland roads were quiet until we got to the A585. There after it's quite busy but there is provision for cycles on most of the busy roads... You have to concentrate on the map all the way north now but it's not a problem. Not much to see going through Fleetwood which was disappointing but easy riding all the way. The new sea defences at Cleveleys were really quite impressive. You have to wait quite a long time before the Tower comes back into view and on a quiet day it would be bliss, being generally downhill/level. I would recommend this route to you especially if the wind's not too strong. David and June | ||
