What's the climb up Bacup Road like? I heard it's pretty steep.

bwfc4eva868

Its a bit of a killer and all road. But if you can ride up that the hill from the car park at lee quarry is easy.

Bolton to Manchester or Rochdale and then Manchester or Rochdale to either Todmorden or Walsden. Either way there is a big fook off hill.

You can also get there from Rochdale and then ride up rooley Moor road to Cragg quarry and then down into Lee.

And Grant, when I get back off Holiday, we shall finally get out mate.

I don't live too far from there (Swinton). What's the riding like? It doesn't look that big on map.

If you go to the old aquaduct near pilkington tile factory there is a small purpose built bike trail, a lot of it is poo but theres a few good sections of red there.

Wherebouts is the tile factory? Is clifton where the robin hood is?

Is there anything around agecroft? I havent ventured down that way yet
