Ormskirk Station to Burscough Junction Station (Lancashire)
15m direct from Aintree.
An accessible alternative using shared pedestrian/cycle paths wherever possible, with about 1.25km on the pavement of the main A59. Good pavements and shared-use paths, generally well maintained but narrowing in places and with paths around an industrial estate and through residential areas next to the railway. Largely follows shared-use cycle/walking paths; a parallel linear path beside the railway is due to be completed to replace the A59 walk.
6km.
About 1.25km along the A59 pavement, which narrows in places. No dedicated crossing of the main road at time of writing.
Lunch: Retail park near the Bull & Dog with a coffee shop and supermarkets.

Liverpool Lime Street Station to Liverpool South Parkway Station (Lancashire)
30m direct from Aintree.
A mostly gorgeous route. A mostly flat, well-surfaced route, the bulk of it along a wide paved promenade beside the River Mersey estuary with gorgeous views and plus a short city-centre section and quiet suburban streets with Triassic red-sandstone walls. Fully paved with only short ramps and a brief cobbled section near Albert Dock; suitable for all wheels.
Easy: 11km, gentle ascents.
Lunch: A pub and cafe with toilets at Otterspool roughly halfway; little else on the route, so get coffee and snacks in town.
