Tue, Mar 1, 2011 - 12.25 mi Manchester Cycleway East, Sportcity to City Centre

Tue, Mar 1, 2011 - 12.25 mi [Cycling]
12.25 mi in 01:03:27 hours at 11.58 mi/h on Pinnacle Hybrid. [Cycling] Cycle around the east section of the Manchester cycleway which was good but spoiled by about 100 traffic calming barriers which you had to negotiate.

Took the spur up to Sportscity thorugh gorton and thois section was quite patchy and muddy and not a nice area.

At sportcity the path followed a canal right into the City centre which was incredibly hazardous with wet cobbled sections leading to wet muddy stretches on narrow towpaths - all this on semo slicks made it quite an achievement not to go in the canal especially as it was getting dark.

PS : This towpath section made Gorton look nice !!
