Manchester Spring Sunday Ride

[fossyant]

Right then,

Time to do another Sunday Manchester(ish) ride. Suggestions - Cheshire or Hills ? Miles ?

Suggestions please and I'll sort a proposed route.

Date - Well anytime before Mid March (or after but I'll be off the bike for April - turbo only).

There has been a few 'new' folk registering on CC so might be nice for them to join in.

If we make it flat, I was thinking of out via Wilmslow, Mobberley, Astley, then maybe stop at the Spinney Cafe (the caravan place) then head back via Birtles/Wizzard/Swiss Hill or Artists Lane near Alderley (all climbs BTW ).

Artists Lane was a bit pot holed last time I was down there. Might have a look at the weekend.

Last time up Swiss hill it was damp so guess what. Yep fell off, not been since. Last time I set out to go up Artist Lane there were bridge works and had to divert up to Monks Heath.

Ha... I was thinking of plotting a Werneth Wallop route - just to see how deadly that would be.
