I used to live in Openshaw and commute to North Manchester Hospital,the way I went is along the ncn 60,it's a good tarmac surface,it brings you out near the Etihad stadium,along Alan Turing Way (there's a cycle lane of sorts till you get to Oldham road) I wouldn't go up Cheetham Hill road,the driving standards there are derisory at best! Try turning right on Smedley road,Right again on Hazelbottom road then straight up to the T junction (Old Market Street) Turn Left here then bear right along Blackley New Road this Brings you out near Heaton Park
