A Tale of 3 Parks - 10/10

The last time we rode this (in April) we had heavy snow! Here's hoping for much better weather this time round!! This is a lovely route that takes in Clayton Vale, Stamford Park (our rest café) and Daisy Nook (2nd break if anyone wants it) . At around 95% road and the rest on compacted sand or gravel we’ll traverse through North Tameside and South Oldham as we make our way to the lovely Stamford Park in Ashton-under-Lyne. The return leg will have 2 fab swoopy descents to contend with – grins are mandatory here!

Bike Type: Hybrid, MTB –there is compacted sand and gravel to contend with in a couple of small sections of the ride

Café stop: The Pavillion café, Stamford Park.

Please note that we will be abiding by COVID-19 safety regulations: social distancing and mask wearing at rest stops. Please ensure you wear a helmet as I won’t allow anyone to participate without one. Bring cash for the Café, bike lock and puncture repair kit, and weather appropriate clothing – it is Manchester after all, so we could be turning into ducks, snowmen or cooking on the ride. It is unknown exactly how long we’ll be out for as it depends on who’s with us and how long we spend munching, so any end time on here is a pure guess!

We never leave anyone behind
