Actually thought up a simple loop, pick up Rochdale Canal in Ancoats (across Rd from Go Outdoors)
Run up Canal Path to Alan Turing Way (ATW)
Head right on ATW then into Phillips Park (before Etihad)
Cut thru park to reach old Arches with mtb skills track by them. Cross rd to velodrome, cut thru foyer if after 7.30am, else run around Velodrome outside.
Cross bridge out of other car park near Asda then u-turn & thrn left onto ashton canal path and follow this under ATW back to Picadilly.
