CC Manchester/Cheshire Spring ride? (Fixed or otherwise)

compared to the priest's hole café in audlem, those beans on toast looked like french toast with a couple of beans. best beans on toast in cheshire bar none.

I put the ice cream icon on the map - it's the only food one mapmyride had......sorry......

Some ride data...surprisingly lumpy......... max hr for me 181......

PS Sorry to Steve and Helen for all the pot holes............... hence we generally go for bullet proof wheels round here !!!! Tried to get my LBS to lace up some hand built wheels radially on the front last year - "no chance" he said, "or sign a disclaimer........" ...point taken...........

next time we could stop at redesmere for ice cream. failing that, wheelock hall farm has a very good ice cream shop, or if we go for a hilly one next time (fixed for the loonies only) blaze farm (a54 between cat and fiddle and bosley x-roads) also does its own ice cream…

Is it possible to visit all of them in one ride, or would that be about 400 miles?

There's an idea for the next one,the cheshire ice cream cc ride I'd make a special effort to go on this one

Possibly...but I ain't going up the Cat on a fixed.......(not particularly steep, but a long grind)........ long ride though...100 miler....

No worries about the potholes, well maybe one or two where you couldn't hear a stone hit the bottom. Great ride and very good company. Latest report is that Helen has passed out, she fell asleep muttering something about unexpected mountainous terrain and heavy bikes. I expect I might hear more about that tomorrow.
Seriously, we couldn't have had a better day, thank you all for sharing that with us.

perfectly so. redemere's in macc (more or less), from which to blaze via sutton/langley (no need to bother with the cat) and from there down the a54 to wheelock hall via congleton and sandbach.

actually, lose redesmere and go to granellis in macc itself. lovely ice cream.

here you go. i've guessed the location of blaze farm but it's near enough. hilly at the start once out of macc, but once you're out of congleton it's pretty flat.
