Is that standard issue these days? Next things they will be turning Scotland Yard into flats

You can't be waiting for qualifying reflective cycling photos, you will be pickled by the time one comes along.

That will make two of us then.

I was bought up on a TV diet of Bewitched.

Best way to travel.

I'd have a nap and check in at Xmas and you may be lucky.

For @Katherine alternate angle of graffiti wall/building

Thanks. Quite impressive!
Is the path as good as that all the way? I've not been down it but was thinking of using it between the canal after Stretford, as far as Chorlton Water Park which is where I meet the Chorlton Wanderers. I usually get on the road after Stretford.

They are owned by the Canadians.

But if you call them Canadian geese instead of Canada geese (as I did once to my sister (who lives in Toronto),), you'll get into trouble!

Edit : not sure about the correct grammatical use of those brackets and commas!

You wouldn't want to do it on a road bike Katherine, quite bumpy and rough/gravelly in places.
Perfect for a mtb or very wide tyred hybrid

OK. I have 32 inch tyres. Not even on a dry day?

That's what I used to ride it on before I got the mtb, should be ok on those if you take it easy.

The river path on the side with the wall is loose stone/gravel so not nice, but the side I was on there is more smooth, depends which way you go.

Well, which side would I go on?

The side I'm on in the picture

If you come off the canal and towards Stretford cemetery then you are on the right route, hard to explain but if you want I will sort out my Strava route and screen grab it for you.

Just to get the ball rolling again

There's a reflection in that there hub.

Ooo like the red hub. That would look nice on my Ridgeback.

 

[Puddles]

One from the tent on the very soggy I.O.W the tent window is causing the warped reflection

Should be fine even on the wettest of days!

[QUOTE 3871871, member: 9609"]that's wide - balancing should be easy though[/QUOTE]
I'm glad someone else has picked up on that!

Waffle, waffle, waffle... This should be renamed the waffle and occasional photo challenge. <snip>

Duely done.
