Because Kudos is involved in so many e-bike test days throughout April,it was my intention to give more info on each event about 2 weeks in advance. However other members have expressed a wish to have more info now.
The Manifold Trail cycling route follows the old Manifold Railway line from Waterhouses to Hulme. It is in total about 11 miles in length but we are intending to use only about half the length,centreing on the lovely Wetton Mill tea rooms.
The location (DE6 2AG) is near Leek,about 10 miles north-east of Stoke on Trent. We are supported by our local dealer,Leek cycle solutions.
If you Google maps 'DE6 2AG' it will reveal the location and using Google imaging you can see the intended cycle route,it is very beautiful countryside following the Manifold valley,near Thor's Cave.
If you Google images 'Wetton Mill' there are many photos of the location.
The venue would appear to offer 4 possible cycling routes-
1) Straight out of the Wetton Mill and up the steep hill towards Butterton...1 mile
2) Turn south from the Wetton Mill,along the Manifold Trail a 1 mile loop on easy flat terrain and back to the Mill....1 mile
3) Turn north from the Mill,along the Manifold Trail,a beautiful easy ride up to the tunnel,then directly back......1.5 miles
4) As above plus a loop west,up the steepish hill to Butterton village,back down to the Mill via the steep Wetton Road,beautiful valley views and a good test of the bikes...3.7miles.
We will have a good selection of Kudos ebikes including the following-
Ibex,Arriba,Tornado,Cobra,Eco,Safari,Secret,Tourer and Liberty.
If anyone has a specific requirement to test a bike outside of that list,please advise,and we will do our best to bring that bike also.
We will also have a KTM Macina 29-Race(Bionx hub drive) and a KTM Macina Bold 26(Bosch crank drive)
Be aware the event is intended as a meet for those interested in ebikes so please feel free to bring along your own bike,as long as its legal.
Any comments/suggestions most welcome.
