Why not do the cheshire cycleway
http://www.cheshirecycleway.co.uk/
Still rubbish getting out of Manchester, but otherwise the route is good & well signed.
The sharp climb is in Llandulas , but only about 100 metres long. I think it is more than 12%. I do it frequently and always knackered when I reach the top, and that is on a 30/30 chairing! Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all on April 25th. Where is to be discussed nearer the date.Other than a 200m sharp climb just before you get to Llandudno (I seem to remember it being 10-12%) the route is flat from Manchester to Chester and then very flat after that
Assuming I actually make this ride, I may treat myself to an overnight stop at the local Travelodge, as it's walking distance to the station. Couldn't possibly travel after a meal of fish, chips andcopious amounts ofbeer, could I?
I think I am going to use that route from High Legh to Mickle Trafford (almost Chester). I can get a nice-ish route out of Manchester to High Legh and I'm sorted after Mickle Trafford so it's coming together
Travelodge in Colwyn Bay too, 2 minutes walk from station.
If you get on at Llandudno JUNCTION, which is a couple of miles from the Travelodge, there are direct trains to London Euston. Get on at Llandudno and you've got to change
Actually you're making me think about having a proper session in Llandudno and stopping at the Travelodge too!
in case you don't remember?If I make this I shall definitely be drinking before and after. I'm happy for others to tell me where.
Maybe an easier start point would be Altrincham? Easy/regular trams/trains from central Manchester. Decent cafes to wait in. On the edge of the Cheshire cycleway.
