Rochdale Canal Lock

Highlight • River

ROUTE USES OLD RAILWAY TRACKS, 2 COUNTRY PARKS, AND GRAVEL TRACKS WITH CANAL TOW PATHS THROWN IN. UNFORTUNATELY THE SHORT RD SECTIONS ARE VERY BUSY. I WOULD NORMALLY AVOID. AND RECOMMENDED FOR EXPERIENCED CYCLEST. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THE NORTH COFFEE ☕️ CAFE MAIN DRAG MILNROW 😋

Key Lane Lock

Key Lane Lock sits along the Rochdale Canal on Manchester's northern side. A shared-use path links the lock to the city centre, offering a peaceful escape from the urban bustle.

Farebottom Bobs MTB Trails

Highlight • MTB Park

Best/only? dirt jumps in Tameside and Oldham. Finding these jumps can be a little difficult the best entrance is from the bottom across the bridge and up to the right you will see signs about the MTB trails on the way. The jumps are very weathered but still ridable me as well as a few friends are gradually trying to improve the trails and jumps. Any help would be much appreciated
