Thanks. I'm using the phone at the moment. I'll post the route details a bit later when I've got the laptop fired up.

Good morning folks
Right.
Can you also tell me approximately how far you will have cycled by then and the total you want to reach.........I will then try and give you some options.

Pleasant walk done on what felt and is starting to look a bit autumnal.

Morning all, bright and sunny here, quite chilly though. I will venture out after the household chores.

They’re very easy to make, just flour, eggs and milk...

Yes.......as the recipe says.....
"The secret to getting gloriously puffed-up Yorkshire puddings is to have the fat sizzling hot and don't open the oven door"!
Of course, it helps if you open the oven door to take them out
but not until then.
Morning all
Looks like being a nice day today, but a bit breezier than yesterday.
Off fo a walk in a nature reserve this morning.
Must get out more!

That reminds me of a funny story.
When I worked in Yorkshire I was visited by to customers from the French Basque** region.
For lunch I took them to a local pub and bought them the speciality which was a plate sized Yorkshire pud with sliced beef and onion gravy.
They couldn't get their head around having a 'pudding' as the main course, especially with meat and gravy.
Not sure they enjoyed it but they put on brave faces.
**one of them was a member of ETA and was a really pleasant guy.
Too busy stuffing faggots or fish down yer gobMorning all

Great, thanks Dave. A quick explanation. While we all belong to Chorley CC our homes are spread over a wide area. For the purposes of our pensioners' rides the start point is considered as the home of the person nearest to the route. To get to Cheshire this means we start in Standish - an extra 22 miles for me!
We are not wedded to any particular route through these areas, we just want a good one as we would like to ride more in Cheshire. Ride length would be 60-80 miles with Standish as the starting point. Yesterday we did:
Standish >Wigan >Bridgewater canal towpath through Wigan Flashes to Abram >Stubb Cross >Ashton in Makerfield >Newton Le Willows >Collins Green >Burtonwood >Bold Heath >Widnes >Old Runcorn Bridge. Using this route Burtonwood was at mile 15 so we are happy with anything up to another 65+
The rout e is below, let me know if you can't access it. This is a route someone gave us three years ago. It turned out not to be what we expected but we also appreciate it's typical of the riding style of the guy who gave it to us!! Happy to try anything once so don't hold back.....................😄
