Start at David Lloyd Gym Manchester North
Heywood Old Road
Middleton
M24 4TH

Details:

FULL MANC (100 miles)

Please note this ride begins at 7.30am.

This is the toughest challenge in the current Tour de Manc programme. This route is not for the unprepared or faint hearted… It’s a challenge, epic and based on the 2017 feedback you will be “Mad ‘fer it”.

The Full Manc starts and finishes at the David Lloyd Manchester North Club – who have generously donated the use of their club facilities and are providing great support. The Full Manc is just over 103 miles long, tours all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester in an anti-clockwise direction and has around 8700 ft. of climbing to test yourselves on. There are a number of closed road sections including the King/Queen of the mountain prize section, which tackles the lung-busting Werneth Low.

The 2017 KoM/QoM winners were Daniel Connor and Laura Belfield who averaged 15.1km/hr and 11km / hr, respectively, over the segment. However, the Tour de Manc is not all about the fastest and this is not a race – we award spot prizes for grit and determination too.

HALF MANC (62 miles / 100km)

Please note this ride begins at 8.00am.

This is a tough challenge for the fit occasional rider. This route is not a flat precession, but an achievable challenge, which you will enjoy. We had incredible feedback from the 2017 TdM and we are sure we will see many of those riders back again.

The Half Manc is 62 miles / 100km long and shares the first 50 Miles of the Full Manc Route. The Half Manc also starts and finishes at the David Lloyd Manchester North Club – who have generously donated the use of their club facilities and are providing great support. It takes an anti-clockwise circuit of Greater Manchester and has around 4500 ft of climbing to tackle. There are a number of closed road or restricted access sections including the King/Queen of the mountain prize section, which tackles the lung-busting Werneth Low.

The 2017 KoM/QoM winners were Daniel Connor and Laura Belfield who averaged 15.1km/hr and 11km / hr, respectively, over the segment. However, the Tour de Manc® is not all about the fastest and this is not a race – we award spot prizes for grit and determination too.

The Route

The route heads out on a flat, mainly downhill route, past Heaton Park, towards Agecroft, through Salford, past Old Trafford and Chorlton to Stockport. Then the course gently rises through Stockport to Marple and starts climbing at Marple Bridge. After a “warm up” climb, you enter a closed road KoM/QoM section which tackles the short, but steep Werneth low climb, affording you a sensational view of Manchester and a panorama of the hills to the North East and the North – enjoy that view!
