 Home                                                                   LOCAL RIDES

We intend to add here some local and not so local rides which we have enjoyed.   You are welcome to enjoy these but better still come and enjoy the rides with us.

As the rides are usually written soon after the ride they are not a turn by turn routefinder so we suggest they are used in conjunction with a good map.  We accept no responsibility for any errors or omissions and of course you should walk on any footpaths which are included.

DEBDALE PARK AND THE ASHTON CANAL    Rides of various distances from Debdale Park or Reddish

SETT VALLEY TRAIL     Short ride from New Mills or Hayfield

RUDYARD LAKE       A pleasant ride along the lake side

MANIFOLD VALLEY   Ride along the old railway line to Thors Cave

PORTLAND BASIN     A circuit from Reddish Vale including the Portland Basin museum - the original clockwise circuit

PORTLAND BASIN - REVISED    The same ride in the preferred anti-clockwise direction

ETHEROW PARK        Three circuits from Brinnington, Woodley and Chadkirk to this popular lake

DERWENT VALLEY    A ride round the Derwent Reservoir off the Snake Pass - excellent views and not too strenuous

LYMM TRAIL    A very flat ride from Broadheath out along a disused railway and back on the canal

LYME PARK     A slightly hillier ride with excellent views

CHESTER CIRCULAR INCLUDING THE ZOO - A superb 23 mile  circuit on excellent off road surfaces and flat.  One of the club's favourite rides
