The Autumn Series - Pennine Escape

Just because the days are getting shorter, it doesn’t mean you have to stop cycling. Keep riding with our Autumn Series – now open for free booking. These rides are all about getting the best out of the season, perfect for getting out on your bike and warming up on a fresh autumn morning! As ‘challenging’ rides you can expect distances of twenty miles and above, usually with some hills thrown in along the way. You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins to take part, but you’ll need to be fairly fit. Starting and finishing at The National Cycling Centre, home of Team GB, this challenging but leisurely paced out-and-back ride follows quiet country lanes through the Medlock Valley before passing through the outskirts of Daisy Nook Country Park 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 in the picturesque village of Uppermill before enjoying the route back to the National Cycling Centre and the home of British Cycling.  Remember to bring your cycling legs!
