Velodrome to Manchester Airport

This is a fairly challenging ride in terms of distance, but it's aimed at riders who use off road tyres, so the pace won't be too fast (9-10mph). The route is mainly roads and cycle paths, with only a short stretch of off-road. We'll be going from the Velodrome, up through Gorton, then on to the Fallowfield Loop as far as Whalley Range. From here, we will pick up National Cycle Route 85 which takes us all the way to the Airport. We can stop for coffee at the Airport itself or at the Aviation Viewing Park. Then, its back to the Velodrome via Cheadle, Didsbury and Heaton Moor. Map of the route: http://j.mp/K6pTq1
