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.
2 hours 0 mins  (1 hours 15 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

This route is ideal for families and people looking to take their cycling a bit further. Setting out from Middlebrook Retail Park we’ll head down the Middlebrook Valley Trail passing the Bolton Wanderers Training Academy along the way. There'll be time for a drink and some snacks in a cafe and then we'll head back along the same route with the chance to take in some great views of Winter Hill and Rivington Pike but don't worry, on this ride we won't be climbing them!

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.
