Set off from my house near Tyldesley at 5.45am after a bowl full of Ready Brek and headed for Lymn,Rotherne,tatton park,and finally Manchester Airport with a little walk down the River Bollin before heading home via the Trafford Centre.It was cold and very icey on the smaller country lanes especially as i still have sliks on the trusty Specialized hybrid but i stayed topside ! Here's afew snappy snaps.

Airport tunnel cycle path...grim but warm !

Frosty grass near the River Bollin at Castle Hill near the airport.

Cheers,i have always lugged a camera around on rides but it has got a lot easier with digital nowadays......still love to drag the old Nikon F.3 out every so often but the old girl weighs a ton compared to the later stuff !

It's a hoot blasting through the tunnel on the road, just have to watch out for professional footballers crashing Ferrari's in there...

LOL,did that years ago....errr 25 ish to be exact but it's a bit scary now or i've got older and more sensible,plus they've doubled the length since my younger days !
Ferrari's crashing are no good to me in my job,Porsche's on the other hand will pay the wages ! Did someone kill a Masarati Bi-Turbo many moons ago in the tunnel ???
