Lets Ride through the Winter - #IWD Friday Social to Walk Mill

This ride will be weather dependent, I will cancel if it looks like it will be too windy or rainy. Please arrive 15 mins before our ride so we can carry out bike checks etc. We can of course shorten the route as well if needed and stop at a different cafe.

This week we will be riding approximately 31/32 Miles on the pace of the slowest rider so that it will hopefully encourage those who have not signed up before to come and try. No speed is too slow, and this is NOT designed for the faster riders! Please be aware that the route does include some busier roads that we need to ride along and cross, these will be taken carefully.

This week the ride will go along the Greenway to the end at Mickle Trafford. Here we will turn right onto Station Lane. From here we will ride along country lanes through Guilden Sutton and then to the A41 (Tarvin Road - our first busy road we will need to cross). We will then make our way towards Waverton and on to the Cafe stop at Walk Mill.

Following our stop we will head back via Christleton, Littleton and back into Chester - once again we will have a short part on busier roads so extra care will need to be taken. Finally returning to our cars around the Racecourse and along the river.

As this is a longer ride please allow plenty of time (we will be out for longer than normal) and also ensure you often ride at this distance. If the weather is bad we will just ride as far as Meadows Lea and back, or even shorter if needed.

Please park considerately in the car park (opposite Yvonne's Cafe - there is additional free parking further along the road). Please note that there is a height barrier.
