Alexandra Park Easyrider to Park Bridge (Skyride Local)

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.
Starting in the Victorian town park of Alexandra Park, which was built by the people of Oldham during the cotton famine sparked by the American Civil War, we will ride a traffic-free route to Park Bridge Heritage Centre. For nearly 200 years Park Bridge Ironworks was a thriving family business, employing hundreds of people and exporting iron and steel around the world. A fascinating ride full of local history – fun for the whole family.

Additional Information: Helmets must be worn by all under 18’s regardless of ride level.
All ages are welcome. Those under the age of 5 must be in a BSA approved child seat, trailer or tag-a-long.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.
