Wythenshawe and South Manchester, Altrincham and Sale, Stockport and beyond - by bike

We'd like to hear from people who know (or want to start) more gentle cycling clubs - short distance, slow pace, more social event with a little exercise thrown in (i.e. without tight pants, fancy jumpers and those pointy, go faster helmets).

For people with strong legs I hear there is something called the Manchester 100 (I guess it's 100 miles long) which happens every early September. I know at least once it has started from Wythenshawe Park. See Bike Events below.

You can cycle just a short distance of 3 miles to see beautiful sights and country and get really fresh air. Don't be afraid if you use a car to take your bike to further away spots (if your legs can't get you there). At least when you arrive, you won't be stuck in a hot car and forced to drive around like a lemon.

Cycling is great combined with other outdoor pursuits; kite flying, camping, photography, natural history, landscape painting, bird watching - you get out in the wilds and you don't make a load of noise and fumes.

Information about lots of bike events - obvious really.
Manchester velodrome (otherwise known as The National Cycling Centre) Velodromes are indoor cycling tracks (like at the Olympics) with corners that bank at an angle; so you can go really fast. I've always wanted to go on a velodrome - and I've always wanted to do the hurdles (not on a bike obviously). I have managed to fly a kite - but all that staring at the sky hurt my eyes.
