Two cycle-tastic routes offer something for every rider - a 40 mile mostly traffic-free route alongside the Manchester Ship Canal and a fantastic 55 mile route for all those riders seeking more of a challenge or aren't so keen on taking their road bikes along the Manchester Canal towpath!*
The mostly traffic-free 40 mile route is ideal for family cycling and takes you along part of the Manchester Ship Canal towards Liverpool and the Mersey while the longer, all on-road 55 mile route, crosses the canal to Culcheth, Rainford and Knowsley, meeting the riders on the short route at Childwall and heading together to the finish at Otterspool Park on the banks of the Mersey.
*PLEASE NOTE The 40 mile route follows part of the Trans Pennine Trail alongside the Manchester Ship Canal. We advise that this route option is most suitable for city / hybrid and mountain bikes with a minimum tyre size of 1.5".
