*Postponed* Tour de Manc Sportive

*Event postponed because of coronavirus. Please see website for further details.*

Three epic distances around Greater Manchester. Run by volunteers with all surpluses going to registered charities. These rides are not easy and you will earn your medal and beer.

Mad Manc - Our toughest challenge and not for the faint hearted. The route was used as the basis for much of the 2019 Tour of Britain stage 8. With all 3 KoMs from stage 8 and lots more climbing on top. It's a 9.5 out of 10 ! 200km, 10,000ft of climbing and goes through all 10 Boroughs of Greater Manchester.

You'll climb Werneth Low, lots of hills around Diggle and Delph including Grains Bar, Owd Betts, Holcome Hill, Rawson's Rake, Green Arms, Rivington and several other testers before returning Ow'd Betts in reverse and down the beautiful Ashworth Valley

Full Manc   - A very testing challenge for the fit regular riders.  It's an 8 out of 10 ! 110miles, 8500ft of climbing and also goes through all 10 Boroughs of Greater Manchester. 

You'll climb Werneth Low, lots of hills around Diggle and Delph, Owd Betts, Holcome Hill, Green Arms, Rivington and several other testers before returning Ow'd Betts in reverse and down the beautiful Ashworth Valley

Half Manc   - A more manageable test.  It's an 5 out of 10 with 100km, 4500ft of climbing. The route follows the first 50miles of the Full Manc before diverting down the scenic Ashworth Valley back towards the finish.
