Whether you ride the “Full Manc” (100 miles & well over 7000ft of climbing) or the “Half Manc” (100km and around 4000ft of climbing), you can expect a tough, but an enjoyable ride. Expect varied terrain as you skirt Manchester, cross Cheshire, skirt the edge of the Peak District, the slopes of the Pennines and the rolling hills of North Manchester. Expect to see some amazing scenery and hidden gems and enjoy great camaraderie.
We will supply drink stops with energy gels, energy drinks (our sports drinks and gels are supplied by SIS), energy rich food, we will have mechanic stations and first aid cover.
It's a long day and post ride, as well as your finisher’s medal, we will provide free hot drinks, baked goods, complimentary massages to help with your weary legs and some free photos of your ride ….there’s one or two other surprises in a goodie bag as well.
Whilst you ride, your families can enjoy a free day pass to the VirginActive Lancashire Club – swimming pools, steam room, sauna, gym, classes, restaurant and more. And when you finish the ride, you are welcome to go there and use the facilities too.
Two great causes will share the Tour de Manc proceeds: The HaTS charity, (www.hatsupport.co.uk) supporting cancer patients and their families at The Christie Hospital’s Haematology and Transplant Unit and Forever Manchester, (www.forevermanchester.com) funding and supporting thousands of community projects across Greater Manchester.
You can also raise funds by getting sponsored on your ride. You can point your supporters to either the HaTS charity Mydonate page or the Forever Manchester Donate facility. The link addresses are below:

Done the hammer experiment yet? How did it work out for you?
Boatsie, is that you?
£52 of sale price is so impressive, when you see some companies giving small %age of profits from sales to similar initiatives. Well done Galibier!
If drivers routinely get away with this then how the hell do MPs like this expect it to work for bikes?...
I'm all for my overall experience being enhanced.
When was the submission? I have been informed by the Met that although they have to send an NIP within fourteen days they then have up to six...
While I agree, not all bike fitters are equal. I found their know-how varies enormously—some are considerably more expert than others.
Now on my PC it says again that I don't have a subscription. I ask you to indicate what should be done to avoid this situation.
Like Hawkinspeter, I am a bit of a tool squirrel. I bought one of these. It is really neat and well made, but I've found it rather confusing to use...
