Manchester to Liverpool Bike Ride

Join us for the third NSPCC Manchester to Liverpool bike ride and enjoy a fantastic day of cycling along the Trans Pennine trail linking these two maritime cities.

From the heart of the new Salford Quays, this great family-friendly ride follows the Trans Pennine Cycle route as it threads its way through the Cheshire countryside and shadows the historic Manchester Ship Canal.

Enjoy refreshments, music and fun for all when you reach the finish by the banks of the Mersey.
