8 people attending
2 places left
Join Paul for this easy 11 mile ride from Central Manchester to Chorlton and back
This will be a leisurely cycle suitable for all levels of fitness, so it's perfect if you are fairly new to cycling or haven't ridden for a while. If you're an experienced cyclist in the mood for something a little more gentle, this is the ride for you too. The route is flat all the way round and the terrain is level so it will be fine for all bike types.
We'll take a scenic route out out town. Sticking mostly to quieter roads or dedicated cycle routes, we'll pass through several parks and green spaces. We'll stop at the chippy for tea. Be warned, they serve generous portions so you might want to bring along a friend to share with, or make friends with someone on the ride. After our break, we'll take a shorter more direct route back into town..
