In the lovely summer sunshine the Pedal Pushers today set out to ride along the Cheshire Lines towards Formby, cut across to the Bypass and cycle back to Maghull via Lunt and Sefton Village.

Taking advantage of the spring sunshine the Pedal Pushers visited two historic Liverpool parks today, Princes Park and Sefton Park. Trains were particularly busy this morning, but we managed to squeeze on and travelled to Brunswick.
As it was such a beautiful spring day the cycling group decided to visit the Marie Curie Field of Hope in Sefton Park hoping to view a wonderful array of Spring Flowers. As you can see we were not disappointed .

It is the largest such organisation in the UK, and since January 2007, CTC’s president has been the newsreader Jon Snow.
