The return is back along the Chester Greenway before heading up to Saughall, Capenhurst and back to Hooton. This is about 16 miles.

THIS RIDE HAS A NUMBER OF SMALL HILLS/INCLINES which we will take at an easy pace but you must be prepared for them

This route should be suitable for all types of bikes, however short sections of the route can get muddy after rain

The vast majority of this route is on roads so you do need to be confident on these. There are some small hills along the way, but nothing major to worry about.

Please make sure you bring a spare inner tube, suncream, water and a jacket
