Riding at a leisuerly pace on city roads, we’ll start with an introduction over coffee at Coffee Cranks Cafe in Alexandra Park (arrive at 11am for drinks, we’ll be setting off at 12noon).
We’ll finish the tour at Manchester City Art Gallery where there is currently an exhibition of some of Sylvia’s paintings of working women (with the option of riding back to Alex Park with us after seeing the exhibition)
