Pennine Escape: Velodrome to Uppermill - Out & Back

PLEASE NOTE: You will be riding on public roads with all the associated hazards. By joining this ride you accept responsibility for your own safety and behaviour. You further accept that whilst there is some organisation of the route (which has been ridden at least once by the ride creator in the last 30 days) no written risk assessment has been carried out and no ride leader will be provided. This is a community group ride, not a guided ride.

This challenging but leisurely paced out-and-back ride starts from nearby streets to Clayton Vale then upon exiting this country park, follows quiet country lanes through the Medlock Valley before passing through the outskirts of Daisy Nook and over Hartshead Pike, where you'll feel a world away from the hustle-and-bustle of Manchester.  There's a well earned refreshment stop after reaching the picturesque village of Uppermill at Newbank Garden Centre in Dobcross before returning, along the same route but in reverse, back to the Velodrome.
