**Ride to the Pace Egg play Manchester to Heptonstall Good Friday 6/4/12
**
Meet at All Saints Park, Oxford Road (next to MMU/opp 8th Day) at 9am
Every year we have a ride to the Pace Egg play in Heptonstall.
We ride on roads until we get to Castleton near Rochdale and then we amble along the side of the canal.
We ride at a pretty relaxed pace and still get to Heptonstall in time to watch a couple of the plays.
It's a ride suitable for all kinds of bikes. The canal path is hard/concrete type stuff that I've ridden only on road bikes. Also as a lot of it is canal tow path much of it is flat, though there is the little hill near boggart hole clough on the way to Castleton, and we usually walk up the steep road to Heptonstall.
Usually people get the train back- less to do with being tired from the ride and more to do with alcohol consumption!
