mini-Manc Sightseer

Manchester is home to British Cycling, with Dame Sarah Storey as its Cycling Commissioner. It prides itself as a cycling-friendly city, so here is a safe and interesting bike ride taking in some of the history and culture of this great city. This ride takes in some, but by no means all, of the sights. It’s only 60km, so for a longer version, see the Manchester Sightseer 100. The ride has all been ridden on a road bike with 23mm tyres, and on a Brompton. However, if you have one, a gravel bike might be the preferred choice, as the route includes some canal towpaths and some unsurfaced cycle-paths. Manchester is very much ‘work in progress’ and you may well find the route is a hard hat and Hi-Viz area, so take a map. This Perm can be ridden with the eBrevet app but can still be ridden the traditional way with a Brevet Card and collecting till receipts. It can count towards the Peak Audax Round The Year award (PARTY).
