Starting from the Raven at 10.00am. Heading over Wharburton bridge to check the new tarmac so will be less of a bone rattler. Down under the canal at Lymm and a climb up and over the motor. Country roads to the top end of Knutsford (Mere) and more country roads into Tatton Park. A slightly different way back which skims the back of Dunham Massey but joins back to Wharburton bridge and a slight variation back to the Raven.
There are some climbs in this but it isn't a race so we'll all stick together. It's a good relaxed ride with a couple of heart rate increasers but they aren't long.
This has been shortened by about 5 miles by request from the original route I proposed.
This ride will suit all levels of fitness, it's not a race. Younger riders with road awareness welcome, we do hit a few roads that could be a bit busy (mainly the A57).
We carry a few spares and tools on every ride with spare inner tubes but these are mainly for standard wheel sizes. 27.5, 29, 700c and 650b along with puncture kits and pumps. If you have an odd wheel size it is advisable to bring along a spare tube or 2.
The ride is open to anyone who fancies a trek out, Road/Gravel/MTB/Hybrid/e-bikes, just turn up before the set off time.
The ride should take around 4 hours with the coffee (beer) stop(s) and a final beer (coffee) stop back at the Raven.
