All aboard!!

From Monton, we'll cycle down the Bridgewater canal to Astley where we turn off and cross Irlam Moss and onto the station. After a break for a brew and a chat we return to the start along dedicated cycle paths and Salford Greenway

A leisurely beginners ride to the lovely cafe at Irlam train station

The majority of the ride is traffic free with some stretches of quiet roads. If it's been wet there might be some puddles and mud so bikes with wider tyres would be most suitable.

There'll be a cafe stop at Irlam train station so bring money if you'd like to buy refreshments. Its a good idea to carry a spare inner tube and pump if you have them but don't let that put you off. You must wear a helmet and please dress to suit the weather

We never leave anyone behind
