Alec, we are coming down Hole House Lane, crossing London Road then going down Bonis Hall Lane (shouldn't be too bad) then Prestbury.

Say the junction of London Road/Bonis Hall Lane for 10.30am - it's at 15 miles and we should be there within the hour.

i'll meet you at the hole house lane junction or the left turn off bonis hall lane, as the junction of london and bonis is not a good place for a group to stop at.

Jutland Street in Manchester (off Store Street) is a little cobbled climb near Piccadilly Station! Quite hard too as it is or was uneven and you can't get any momentum from the 90 degree turn off Store St...

You know what? i've lived in manchester for 30 of my 34 years and been riding its streets for longer than I can remember but i've never done more than walk up the bugger!

Hmm., the road is sh1t, but the scenery is good........ you'll all be swearing at me tomorrow.........don't look at the road...........it's worth it....

I used to use that road a lot to get to and from the old brickworks. In a car.

The Brickworks is a legend climb.....it's great if you've got your climbing legs...... if not it's terrible..........

PS we pass within a mile of the brickworks tomorrow........Alec will be hissed if we do it, we won't get back to the junction for at least another hour............
