This one seems to have been off a list of regular stops for a while so maybe time to give it a go again..
We plagiarise (steal) the Saturday Social route into Knutsford and then head out of town up Toft Road, past the Seven Sisters Ice Cream Farm before turning off at Stocks Lane. From here we look through Over Peover, Martell and Mobberley before arriving at the Smithy.
After coffee, it’s Ashley, Bowden, Dunham, up Burford Lane to the lights at Broomedge. Then Mag Lane and Swineyard to finish.
47miles and 1,500ft.
We typically average between 14mph and 16mph and we would like to ask riders to be respectful of this for your own safety and the safety of the group. Suitable for road bikes only.

Bikes MUST be in good working order and you MUST have a helmet. You need to carry a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit and when necessary you should also have lights.
We meet at the Mulberry Tree, Stockton Heath, WA4 2AF and leave at 8:30AM prompt. Please aim to be at the meeting point by 08:20AM
Bikes MUST be in good working order and you MUST have a helmet. You need to carry a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit and when necessary you should also have lights.
General Rules:
– Please keep pavements clear at meeting points, be respectful of pedestrians.
– Riders must ride maximum two abreast – not four! – and on the left hand side of the road – safety first!
– We generally ride as a single group, unless we have 12 or more riders when we would split into 2 groups (assuming we have enough ride leaders to accommodate this)
– Riders must have someone they can phone in case of emergencies and mechanical failure – it is not the responsibility of the leaders to fix a bike – but they will help if they can.
