Beware the Boggart

Sky Ride Local in Manchester

We are going to ride around looking for the Boggart which is said to haunt the clough. Boggarts are mischievous spirits responsible for mishaps and poltergeist activity within the home and in the countryside. They rearrange furniture, break pots and are generally blamed for 'things that go bump in the night'. So watch out for the Boggart and be very quiet as you pass over the hole under the bridge.

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

Additional Information

Helmets must be worn by all under 18's regardless of ride level.
All ages are welcome. Those under the age of 5 must be in a BSA approved child seat, trailer or tag-a-long.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike.

All rides leave at the time stated, you must arrive early Ride Leaders will not wait.

• Matt Waggett Hi folks,
  
  I'm Matt.
  
  This is my first year as a Skyride Leader, so please be gentle...
  
  I hope to get out as much as possible, and am trying to squeeze in as many chances to meet you wonderful people on rides as I can, which can be difficult as I spend most of my time working. :(
  
  I am a front line Police Officer, and have been for 13 years now, but finally have got around to completing my Ride Leaders Qualification.
  
  You could probably describe me as a keen enthusiast, but don't worry..I am far from an athlete.....shift work has seen to that!
  
  I'm the type of guy that would go out of his way to make sure you have a great time on the ride, and please please do say hello and give me a wave, I don't bite! Better still, get booked on some rides and come out and play :)
  
  
  I would be more than happy to ride along with you if at all possible, and should you want to stay close, just give me or one of the other leaders a shout and we will look after you...promise
  
  See you soon :)
