An Evening Leisure Cycle around Stockport

A leisurely evening social bike ride linking the numerous trails around the Stockport .This event is around 20 miles.

We will start by descending the newly constructed link from the station to the Trans Pennine Trail before following sections of the Trans Pennine Trail following the River Mersey, Alan Newton Cycleway between Stockport town centre and Marple, the Middlewood Way and the shared path along the recently constructed Airport Link Road.

We will ride at a relaxed pace and no one will be left behind, and will shorten the route if necessary to ensure we finish before lighting up time. 

Road cyclists: Please be aware some paths might be a little rough and bumpy for thin tyres, but doable none the less.
Mountain bikers: As much as possible we will try and keep off roads. Some navigation on-road will be unavoidable.

Pace and Terrain

This will be a leisurely cycle suitable for those of all levels of fitness. The majority of the route is off road on dedicated Cycleways, Bridleways and Rail Trails. There are a few short sections of suburban roads. This event is open to cyclists of all abilities and bike types. There are a couple of hills en route , but nothing too long, and no harm if you need to walk up them

If you're not a regular cyclist, please do make sure your bike is in good condition - check the tyres are well inflated, chain is oiled, and you've got a spare inner tube, drinks and snacks with you.
