This ride to Kingsway follows a pretty route along the canal.

We'll meet at The Wheatsheaf Pub car park in Littleborough for a warm up and a quick bike check. Then we’ll head out passing beautiful countryside and scenic views. We'll find a cafe for a refreshing drink or if it’s hot an ice cream, so please bring some money with you. We’ll head back the way we came.

This is a gentle ride on a mostly flat and traffic free route.  It’s perfect for beginners and anyone who’s not been on a bike for a while. We really welcome newcomers to our rides.  It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack.  Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.   If you have a spare inner tube great please bring one along but not to worry if you don’t.  It’s always good to take a few layers to cope with our British weather, a waterproof is always advisable. We have quite a few Breeze champions in Rochdale and the surrounding area so if you fancy a longer ride or hill climbs there’s lots on offer.  To search for your nearest ride use the activity finder. Want to learn to ride?  There will be Cycle Training (Bikeability) sessions coming soon.  For more information please email [email protected] for the attention of Naomi. Does your bike need a service?  Located nearby in Littleborough is a Breeze awarded female friendly bike shop called the Ride Stuff.  For more information please visit their website or see their Facebook page. The Breeze 'Proud to support the Breeze Network' is in partnership with the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT). Look forward to seeing you there!
