We must come close to passing each other, most of my rides pass through Rosyherne, Tabley and Mere.

I try to mix it up a bit, if only to save the same old...... Also it depends upon my legs. Sometimes they CBA, particularly if I haven't managed to get out on my bike for a week or two, so the flatlands of the river Mersey have to suffice.
Which reminds me, I haven't been over towards Ashley from Tatton for while.
