Manchester to Liverpool

New route option for 2013! This great ride is now in its eighth year, and we've added a fanstastic 60 mile route for all those riders who're seeking a challenge - and aren't so keen on taking their road bikes along the Manchester Canal towpath! Starting at Salford Quays and leaving Manchester via Old Trafford and Stretford, it picks up the Trans-Pennine Trail. The mostly traffic-free route is ideal for family cycling and takes you along part of the Manchester Ship Canal towards Liverpool and the Mersey while the longer, all on-road route, crosses the canal to Culcheth and Rainford before passing through Knowsley Park Estate to meet the riders on the short route and heading for the finish at Otterspool Park, on the banks of the Mersey. Voted number 5 in The Independent's 10 Best Cycling Events for 2012! All riders raising over £25 for the NSPCC will be awarded a medal. Make sure you send your sponsorship in! NSPCC, Horton House, Southlink Business Park, Oldham 0L4 1DE THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL SECTION OF THE ROUTE IS UNSUITABLE FOR ROAD BIKES. WE RECOMMEND TYRE SIZE 1.5" PLUS.
