Wednesday 15 August 2018 – Pomona Metrolink Construction

1501pomona1

A repeat of last Tuesday’s bike ride. Just a bit of exercise, but I stopped to take a couple of pictures by the Ship Canal where the Metrolink extension from Pomona to the Trafford Centre is being constructed.

Hopefully they’ll tidy up the site when they’ve finished.

This is a dry route with a good surface at all times of the year, which is very handy for an off road ride. There’s less than a couple of km on roads, though the section from the BBC studios to Eccles is on a cycle track next to the road.

Here’s the route again – 26km, 40 metres ascent, in an hour and a quarter or so today. Easy (and quicker) on a road bike if you have one.

I detect a trans-alpine bike ride or similar excursion in the offing Martin.
