Debdale Park to Tree tops Café

Ride 1
Meet at Debdale outdoor centre car park (opposite McDonalds) at 9:45 for ride briefing, aiming to set off at 10am.
We will be riding the full length of the Fallowfield loop, a traffic free cycle path which is one of the National Cycle Network routes and paths;
it was developed and built by Sustrans, forming part of routes 6 and 60. after leaving "The Floop" there is a 4 mile stretch of road and short section of hard packed dirt
(easily doable on skinny tyres) to the café stop at Sale water park .
After a stop to rest, refuel and chat we return to Debdale park by the same route.

Build up to ride 100km +, over 12 rides we start with a 15 miler in January and finish with a 62.3 miler in June.
Ideal preparation if you want to do the Manchester to Blackpool ride on 12th July (will need to be booked through https://www.bike-events.co.uk/Ride.aspx?id=2749&n=y )
These are all road rides with some quiet roads and bike paths , so riders must be comfortable riding with traffic and MUST carry spares (innertube to fit your bike, minipump etc)
These are Community rides not guided rides, although they are fixed routes with someone to navigate,
Riders will be responsible for there own safety and MUST adhere to the highway code. Helmets are strongly advised .
There will be a Café stop on each ride so bring cash/card as well as any snacks/drinks you may need.
