Thursday Gravel Ride

This non-technical gravel/off-road route starts on the Floop down to Chorlton, then back along the Mersey and Bridgewater canal. The ride will be along flat mainly hard packed gravel / broken tarmac with some muddy sections. We will ride together, regrouping at each junction. Join us for a social drink at Station South after.

This route can be ridden by a gravel bike, MTB or hybrid with wide off-road tyres.

Good lights compulsory, and please bring a helmet. This is a non-dropping ride, but please make sure you are comfortable with the pace and distance. If there are enough people we will split into two groups, one steady and one faster.

Any questions: comment on the post on our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/stationsouthcyclingclub

Additional information :

We expect to be out for around 2-2.5 hours so please bring food, water and adequate clothing. Most of the ride will be in the dark, so you must bring good lights.

If for any reason your circumstances change and you can no longer join us, please let us know and we can give your space to someone else. The size of the groups are limited: if the ride is oversubscribed then priority will be given to those who have signed up. Thank you!

How we ride: Our goal is to be a friendly and inclusive cycle club. To achieve this aim we expect all riders to:

- Look out for each other

- Be friendly and supportive to all riders

- Be self-sufficient (e.g. bring appropriate spares and supplies)
