The plan is to meet at the access point between Limehurst and Hartshead Estate on the National Cycling Route 66 at 6.15pm. There are several access points on this route; Turner Lane; Cranbourne Road; Wood Lane and Peterborough Close. We'll do a second pick up at Earle Street, Ashton-under-Lyne (West End) OL7 0EH at 6.45pm. If you’re running late please call us on 07806 874 187 / 07943 100 920. There are flat stretches so you can get used your bike if you haven’t been on it for a while. Over the course of spring/summer we will build ourselves up to cover longer distances at a faster pace. The routes will vary each ride covering Daisy Nook, Droylsden, Alexandra Park, Knott Hill Reservoir, Audenshaw, Debdale Park and the Fallowfield Loop. There’ll be a mixture of quiet road riding and hard tracks and we’ll ride at a steady pace. There might be a few inclines and one hill to tackle (on the way home). Treat it as a challenge, see how far you and get and work to getting a bit further next time. Please feel free to stop at any time or get off and walk (most of us will). This is perfect for riders who are comfortable on a bike and looking to build their fitness. You might like to bring a drink and snack for when we stop mid way. Wearing a helmet is advisable as we’ll be on roads. Look forward to seeing you there!
