Extra info: This great ride is now in its tenth year, continuing to raise much-needed funds for the NSPCC. 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.
