What others say
"A great route, using a varied mixture of well-signed roads before heading for the coast and along Blackpool’s South Shore Promenade. Riding into the finish area was a memorable experience for riders, looking like the final stage of the Tour de France with lots of cheering well-wishers. The Solaris Centre parkland was the perfect post-ride chill-out zone where riders could relax and reflect on a memorable ride which raised funds for The Christie hospital in Manchester”. Cycling Active Magazine
“Manchester to Blackpool is such a fun ride and the music and beer tent is a great dangling carrot during the ride” Baz Bignell
