I set of on the shorter 50 mile route, it was very windy and wifey wanted me back for lunch!
It was very interesting pedalling off and not having a clue where I was going, I did remember looking at the elevation profile when I plotted the route, I kept on expecting to cycle up a hill, but one never appeared. Of course I may have found it so easy due to the massive tail wind!
At 35 miles'ish I was on the Blackpool seafront, its a lot faster by bike than car :-) although the massive side wind was very dangerous.
As I started heading away from the seafront back to Warton, I had a full on 25mph+ tailwind…I was flying along at around 30 mph.
The cycle computer had the ride as 52.83 miles in 3 hours 9 minutes with an average speed of 16.7 mph.
When I got back to the campsite, I showered and changed then retraced my steps in the car to find somewhere to eat, unfortunately Lancashire pubs don't appear to be very dog friendly, I managed to get a pub to allow us in to their games room with the dog.
The GPS track can be found here...

I don't know why; but I always like riding to the seaside.
So do I, I once took a ride to the Isle of White, then around the island, I was a little annoyed that the road didn't follow the coast all of the way round, but It was great :-)
I think I would just like to live on the coast.
Good old August weather eh :)
