Manchester Pride 2021: Social Cycle (Saturday)
7 people attending
5 places left
In light of the absence of any Pride march on the Saturday, join Lou for a social cycle ride to explore the cycle ways and surrounding area of Manchester.
This will be an all-ability, any cycle style of ride so one for everyone!
If you are keen to see the city, its canals and cycle ways, stop for coffee and cake over a ride of no more than 30 miles then this is the event for you!
ODL'ers will no doubt want a leisurely start and leisurely finish to join in with other events and socials around the Manchester Pride event, so we expect this to start at 11am and finish no later than 3pm including stops, but if people are enjoying themselves that can be flexible on the day!
