Evening Leisure Cycle - Reddish Vale & Peak Forest Canal

Join us on this leisurely round trip of 15 miles from Levenshulme into Tameside &Stockport

Everyone (including beginners) are welcome. We'll be riding at a gentle pace of 8 to 10 miles per hour and, as always, no one will get left behind.

Starting from Levenshulme in South Manchester, we will join the Fallowfield Loop for a short distance before descending to Reddish Vale Country Park to join the Trans Pennine Trail following the River Tame.

On leaving the Trans Pennine Trail, we join the Peak Forest Canal which is followed to Romiley, along this section we pass through a long tunnel, (A good light is required if cycling through the tunnel) 

The majority  of the route is completely traffic free, with only about 3km on quiet residential roads. There will also be some short climbs out of the River Valley.  

The terrain is best suited to hybrid or mountain bikes, though it can be done on a road bike. Some parts of the trail are uneven and can be quite muddy if wet. Please check that your bike is roadworthy before the ride, as you will be responsible for dealing with your own mechanical issues, should they arise on the day.
