I ran this ride with my local group last year:-

I'm planning to run it again on 24-11-12.
It will follow the same format and route but I've moved the start time forward to 09.30 from Chorlton Water Park.
Last year I had to crack the whip a little to ensure that we got a table at the Cafe for lunch (it gets really busy).

For out of towners, I can arrange to meet people at 10.00 at Piccadilly Station and we can join the Chorlton(CH)ites on the banks of the Ship Canal.
In summary, it's about 40 miles, mainly flat but with two short, sharp climbs and it's ~50/50 bike path/busy road.
