Re: Runcorn Cheshire
Joining the TRF is one option. There are a few routes around the Peak District, on View ranger posted by a chap called Hugh Cleary, who keeps his routes upto date. I've ridden hi Tissington Big Bike winter Route numerous times, excellent days riding.
Theres also the Trans Euro Trail (TET) which has some interesting section. you can download the gpx from the TET website.
I'm out in the peaks and Wales most week ends, happy to show you some lanes.

Re: Runcorn Cheshire
Greetings,
Might I suggest that you also consider joining GLASS and thereby have access to their excellent resource called Trailwise2. Despite incorrect claims by some to the contrary GLASS is not purely for 4X4 drivers but endeavours to represent all users of green lanes.
The mapping system shows the location of all of the lanes plus descriptions of the routes, etc. The system is very well maintained by volunteers and it is regularly updated.
Both GLASS and the TRF have local groups at which you can meet like minded fellow green lane users. The legality of routes is under constant threat and change so by joining the groups you can both be kept up to date and support our fight to retain access for all users.
Many routes that should not be ridden are marked with the prohibition sign of the 'motorcycle jumping over a car', in Cheshire some just show a car.
If in any doubt do not venture along them without finding more information.
The generally accepted sign colour code for classified routes is;
Yellow = footpath
Blue = bridleway
Plum = restricted byway
Red = BOAT Byway Open to All Traffic
There are also many unclassified routes which may have a waymarker disc of a white circle encompassing a black coloured arrow.
We on here are available for guidance too.
TTFN
Hugh.
