| Time: | 6 hours | ||
| Weather: | Sunny and hot | ||
| Comments: | Having previously done small sections of the Guild Wheel, from Avenham Park, today I decided to complete the full circuit. This also involved riding to Avenham Park from home, approximately 6 miles each way. Preston Guild Wheel was developed to celebrate the 2012 Guild Attractions. It is a 21 mile circular route, also known as Route 622. Some sections of the route travel through pretty countryside on good even surfaces while other parts travel trough industrialised areas and sometimes on rough loose surfaces. |
