Your bike on a bridge pics

[uphillstruggler]

Yes that was an impressive viaduct and trail, Colin. One of many of our highly enjoyable rides out together.

When this pesky COVID 19 virus is beaten we will most certainly repeat.

Here's a bridge I crossed the other day over the River Roch on my mtb at the derelict Crimble Mill in between Rochdale and Heywood. The site is earmarked for 250 luxury new houses under the Greater Manchester Spacial Framework Plan. There is lots of local opposition to it. Also a picture of the derelict Crimble Mill.

My usual route out from home and back for the first and last 4 or 5 miles of rides is the Rochdale Canal towpath. However, since the COVID situation and lockdown the towpath is too narrow to ensure safe social distancing. This has led me to seek out and discover some very quiet, local and quite obscure tracks to facilitate a variety of short local loops.

What a waste of a fabulous looking building

A fairly unremarkable bridge, but nicely decorated. @dave r might know it.

Its familiar but I can't place it, Leamington Spa perhaps?

Close, it is Charlecote, I think you would only spot it if you had been past recently since it was decorated.

The one by the mill, I should have recognised that, its only been a couple of weeks since I last rode over it, I went that way earlier in the year and couldn't get through, it was badly flooded and I would have needed a mask and flippers.

Lovely bike - a beautiful frame.

Lovely bike - a beautiful frame.

Thanks,not the lightest thing in the world though but it's not for thrashing around on; easy touring, utility work and commuting will be it's main uses.

Might sling some gnarlier tyres on and see how it is off the beaten track.

My trusty Edinburgh Country Explorer on Acton Bridge Railway Bridge, in the village of Acton Bridge, next to the entrance to Acton Bridge Railway Station, not taken with a Bridge Camera, (pause for breath). Just wanted to see how many times I could get the word "bridge" in and still make sense. Should have panned left a bit in the first shot. Not far away is Acton Swing Bridge, which was built in around 1933 to carry the A49 over the river Weaver. This allowed salt boats of up to 500 tons to access the salt towns of Northwich and Winsford further upriver. This replaced a more ancient bridge. However, Acton Bridge was formerly called Acton in Delamere, to add to the confusion. So far I have not been able to find out the date of the name change, perhaps it was indeed around the time of the arrival of the railway.This bridge has a steep climb either side. A surprising number of cyclists whizzed past in both directions while I was taking these photos.
