Cycling Past Times (Skyride Local)

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
A fascinating glimpse at some of the local area’s industrial hertitage and history. Cycling back in time, this route takes you through Livia and Clifton Country Park, past the historic River Irwell and its sculpture trail, to the old Wet Earth Colliery which was used until the 1920’s. As we ride past the old canals it’s not hard to imagine the busy lives of our forebears during the Industrial Revolution.

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.

All rides leave at the time stated, you must arrive early Ride Leaders will not wait.

Places are limited so please book online.
