Where riders get stuck around Ashton
- M60 junctions 23 and 24 and the M67: The M67 runs to Hyde and Mottram, then hands over to the A57 and A628.
- A628 Woodhead Pass: The trans-Pennine road to Penistone: heavy lorries, high moorland and fierce weather.

- Ashton town centre and the A6140: Busy roundabouts and retail park traffic.
Local knowledge
The A628 over Woodhead is a lorry route as well as a bike route, and a breakdown there is no fun: few lay-bys, fast traffic and weather that changes quickly at the top. If the bike starts to struggle, pull into the first safe lay-by rather than trying to make it over the summit.
Mottram and Hollingworth are the bottleneck where traffic for both Woodhead and the Snake Pass queues. Bikes overheat and clutches suffer in that traffic on summer weekends. If the bike stops in the queue, get onto the pavement side and send us your pin.
