A compact 5.2 mile loop of roughly 27.3 minutes in one stage, this is one of the shorter routes at Cheetham Hill, yet 15 sets of traffic lights keep the pace slow. It links Cheetham Hill with Lower Broughton, Greengate and Strangeways, staying inside 20 mph and 30 mph limits with no roundabouts on the way.

Watch Out For

  • A stop sign where a complete halt is required, not a rolling pause.
  • Five marked bike lanes, most of them on the city side near Trinity Way.
  • Eight right turns against five lefts, so most junctions cross oncoming traffic.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pull up on the left at the marked point, choosing a safe, legal and convenient spot clear of driveways.

Key Tips

  • The route is short but dense, so plan lane position before each set of lights rather than at the stop line.
