Saturday morning hill ride to Cheshire and back

Start at Hooton station for this Saturday morning Breeze ride The plan is to do a 56 mile ride out into Cheshire. There is 1700 ft of climbing, but basically this is all in two hills (don’t know whether that makes it better or worse!). Most is through lovely Cheshire lanes and there are some great views to be had. There will of course be an obligatory coffee stop, but I would suggest bringing a banana or flapjack to have a munch on around Helsby before the gentle climb. We last did it in September and took 4 hours of cycling, although I know I’ve lost quite a bit of fitness since then so not expecting any great times, but hopefully it will be a good training ride and plenty of fun.
