Long time no see, Jodrell!
We head out via Arley, Tabley Hill, Knutsford, Plumley and Over Peover before Batemill Lane and on to Jodrell for coffee. The route home is via Goostrey and Lostock Gralam where we turn left to Northwich and up through Marbury Country Park on Warrington Old Road – closed to traffic but with a “metalled” surface! Then it’s Senna Lane, Frandley and up the Arley drag to the The Thorn.
It’s 45miles with just over 1,400ft of ascent.
We typically ride at an average of between 14mph and 16mph and 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.

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.
