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.
1 hours 45 mins  (1 hours 0 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.

Sky Ride Local in Bolton

Join us on this brilliant route starting with a gentle ride through Leverhulme Park and into Seven Acres Country Park. We will stop at an ideal site for a picnic, near a play park and with a local supermarket close by for provisions. Even though we are riding through some 'industrial' areas there is plenty to see and hear, and even time to play a game of 'Pooh Sticks' or two. You may even see a Kingfisher.

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.

Rider Comments on the Route

  1. Ivan Rubery Monday 17th June
    Had a good day and appreciated the guides, only issue was with the styles on the route as it interrupted with the flow of the cycling a little. Great way to get out and meet new people.
