Product Description
The 20 rides in this guide bring you the chance to discover what superb opportunities Greater Manchester offers for exploring by bike. From Manchester's industrial heritage to the Pennine hills, using old railway lines, canal towpaths, quiet roads and new cycle tracks, discover routes that will appeal to beginners and experienced cyclists alike. There are also listings of cafes and pubs en route, and all the ride instructions are accompanied with detailed mapping. Explore the canals of Wigan and Wigan Pier; ride off-road to Bury; discover the Watergrove reservoir, with mountain biking hidden in the hills; visit Dunham Park, Tatton Park and Quarry Bank Mill; join the Trans-Pennine trail; and ride through all ten Manchester boroughs.

Good book, plenty of circular routes for those of us who take the bike on the car.
I personally scan the routes and take a copy out with me so it saves the book becoming damaged (as I found on my first ride!).
One last tip - if you intend doing the Tandle Hill to Hollins route I would not recommend this as suitable for beginners or children as the Boarshaw Lane section is nothing less than a quagmire (22nd Feb) and also has loads of large water filled potholes (one 'pothole' filled the entire width of the track, was about fifteen foot long and filled with enough water to come over the top of the pedals so definitely not suitable for children!!). The signs for the Thornham Way cycle route have been pulled off the gate at the entrance to Tandle Hill park so make sure you google this before setting off so you know what to look for.
