April 6, 2025,Canals and riversides

Glorious day, glorious route. The Ken worthy Woods bridge is no more so you have go through the woods. Some of the route is gravely and other parts past the Weir and over the bridge can be quite sandy. Stockport is alway a delight. On the whole it was a good ride.

June 30, 2025,Chorlton to Heaton Moor

Good flatish ride on mainly Canals, path and a few quite roads. Parts of the Canal were shut due to work being done on them so had to find ways around it. Also, some steps were include in the ride but they were to steep so found another way around them, eventually. Great ride though would recommend it.
