SECOND CITY DIVIDE

Steve Bate & Jon Gildea

British Cycling team mates Steve Bate and Jon Gildea set off to cycle from Manchester to Glasgow in three days.

Second City Divide is a bike-packing route between Glasgow and Manchester – two proud second cities linked by some of the UK’s best all-road riding.

Bike-packing is inspired by a desire to ride more off the beaten track, to get away from cars, deeper into the UK’s wilder places. Living on the road for a few days and pushing a few of your limits is good for the soul.  Glasgow and Manchester have a good bit in common. As Second Cities of their respective countries, both have the good vibes, creativity, industrial heritage, commonwealth velodromes; gritty, grand and gregarious in equal measure.  Between them is a load of food, culture, wildlife and history for exploring on two wheels.
