Out of Manchester to Saddleworth, Greenfield then Denshaw, then the A640 over the moors. Turn off over Scammonden Bridge, then the back roads via Rishworth to Blackstone Edge.
Longest descent down to Mytholmroyd and then Hebden Bridge, stopped for a bacon and egg butty and tea.
One of my favourites today, a 75 miler.

Then off home via Todmorden, Bacup and Rochdale.

Back in time for ITV4 tour coverage too, which was nice.
