Fly to Manchester Airport circular ride

This is a circular ride starting and and ending at Longford park.

This is a circular ride starting and and ending at Longford park. It is a mix of roads and cycle lanes. You need to be confident riding on busy roads.

We will follow the Bridgwater canal up to Brooklands and then we join a busy road for a few miles. We later continue on the traffic free pathway and cycle lanes to reach the Runway Visitor Park. There will be a gravel lane thus this ride is not suitable for skinny road tyres. We come back through Wythenshawe, Northenden and finish the ride at Chorlton.

We will have a 30 min break for hot drink or snack. After observing planes from the comfort of the café, we continue towards airport tunnels and round the airport. We are hoping to link up with Lesley and her Wilmslow group during our break.

Please wear a helmet, bring a bike lock, inner tube, bike lights and snacks/drink or money for the café. Lights in working order are essential at this time of year.

We are a friendly group and we do not leave anyone behind. If you have questions, feel free to message us.
