Let us lead you around the leafy suburbs of Cheshire, calling in at the Anderton boat lift for a quick brew and finishing off at a posh ice cream parlour. Whats not to love! The route is a tale of two halves. Initially lots of quiet bendy country lanes where you will really see how the other half live! Along with NO POT HOLE cycleways/path ( it is Cheshire after all) before taking your bikes on a bit of off road adventure along bridlepaths/ways and cycle trails There are two stops on this ride. A quick brew at Anderton boat lift where if we time is correctly, you will see the lift in action and then later in the ride, a stop for yet another brew and sweet treats. It is highly recommended you bring a sandwich on this ride as the first stop is too soon after breakfast.

As always, helmets are a must on HRS rides. Please ensure you are fully equipped with your OWN puncture equipment i.e. 2 x inner tubes, tyre levers pump, etc., and a chain link for your own bike. Do not worry if you do not know what to do with these, we can assist if needed. There is a section where we will cycle along the edges of a field and then onto a path that may be overgrown with long grass therefore long trousers or boot covers would make it more pleasant. If it has or is raining, waterproofs are essential. Off road tyres only!!
