Update to NWCCA Round 1 (Preston): Car Parking and general advice

0 comments

Update from Colin Humphreys about the round 1 event… Being a Saturday race it will be busy in and around the town centre so I think accurate parking instructions will help.

Updated event / venue map now available:Red Rose Olympic CycloCross Map 2010

Car Parking

East of Avenham Parking
Located at Lancs County Council Offices PR1 3EE and is approached over a narrow single lane bridge.  Go through the town centre and make for Winkley Square, turn onto Garden Street which joins East Cliff Road (which has a pay and display car park) turn right onto East Cliff to approach the narrow bridge.  You will need to walk / ride back along East Cliff and turn right to approach the park entering via a footpath.

Large Multi-Story Parking
Off Avenham Lane approx 1000metres from Avenham Park.

South of Avenham Parking
Approach via London Road A6 PR2 5AX.  Turn off London Road onto Ashworth Grove down the side of the river.  Follow the Boulevard until it joins the Esplanade.  At the end of the Esplanade is a small car park next to the shower block.  Avenham Park is approximately 500metres away and will be signposted ‘Cyclo-Cross Race’.

West of Avenham Parking
There is limited street parking along West Cliff PR1 8HU approached from Fishergate hill.
