Flat off-road ride from Warrington to Hale, using the trans-pennine-trail.
This is one of my local training routes. I do this route on a regular basis usually at high pace of averaging over 20km/h. Today I was doing this as a recovery ride after racing yesterday in the East Liverpool Wheelers cyclocross, so I had time to take some pictures.

Widnes Promenarde
This is the highlight of Widnes. I call it 'dog shit alley' as the all the locals bring their dogs here to shit especially in the winter months when they can do it under the cover of darkness.

Good to see that my hard earned cash that I pay the local council in tax is being put to good use.

Sankey Bridges BMX Track
This is where I practice jumps and drop off's. I go early so I don't embarass myself in-front of the local kids.
