Pots and Pans

A ride out into the foothills of the Pennines which takes in a great view of Manchester at Hartshead Pike and of the Pots and Pans monument after climbing up to Knowl Top lane . Starting from outside the velodrome at the National Cycling centre in Manchester. Around half way round the route passes by Grandpa Green's Luxury Ice Cream parlour and cafe which has a great menu and is open every day but please check their website for times, it can be very busy if the weather is good. The control at Gellfield lane is where it flattens out briefly after climbing up Knowl Top lane.
