Google Map --> http://goo.gl/maps/YpDbO (This centres on Colourserve Ltd who are next door - the arrow shows where to park)

More specific directions to the start point are here: -- > http://www.rideandrepair.co.uk/downloads/directions.pdf

There is ample free parking, toilets and changing facilities available. There's also the workshop should anyone need a quick repair or 'tactical adjustment' before the ride.

:: Terrain: A gentle all weather route which links the canal and disused railway with some of the trails around Bollington, Kerridge and Lyme Park.

The pacing will be nice and gentle and we'll fit in at least one cafe/pub stop. Everyone from all areas is welcome, preferably riding retro of course.

So what say you?!

I shall have to ride something appropriately garish and taste-free in that case...

Be nice to see you out Mr.K, feels like years! :)


Any idea of gradients Paul? Just wondering about the NW crippleboy possibly joining us...

Planning to keep things fairly flat and easy, which is difficult given the area we are riding in.

It better be flat...

The canal sections will be flat, the Middlewood way is an old railway track bed, so that will be flat.

The loop through Lyme park is not quite so flat but well worth it.

It'll be great to see you Neil. You can bring that Vetta saddle you borrowed three years ago.
