- Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
- 3 hours 10 mins (2 hours 30 mins cycling)
- Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour.
Starting and finishing at The National Cycling Centre, home of Team GB, this challenging but leisurely paced out-and-back ride follows quiet country lanes through the Medlock Valley before passing through the outskirts of Daisy Nook Country Park and over Hartshead Pike, where you'll feel a world away from the hustle-and-bustle of Manchester. There's a well earned refreshment stop in the picturesque village of Uppermill before enjoying the route back to the National Cycling Centre and the home of British Cycling. Remember to bring your cycling legs!
