This route takes us out via Frodsham and up Manley Road before descending Commonside, then it’s through Alvanley and up Manley Road in the other direction and a right turn up New Pale Road. From the top of Old Pale Road it’s all downhill to the café stop at Manley Mere.
It’s always best to strike when the caffeine is fresh and this ride certainly does that; out the of café we turn left and up Cob Hall, Sugar and Pingold Lanes before a brief downhill and then back through Delamere, Norley, Acton Bridge, Frandley and Antrobus, up the Arley drag and a finish at the The Thorn.
At 45.7miles it’s not the distance that makes this a challenging Active ride but the 2,200ft of ascent (You also get 2,200 ft of descent!).

Bikes MUST be in good working order and you MUST have a helmet. You need to carry a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit and when necessary you should also have lights.
General Rules:
– Please keep pavements clear at meeting points, be respectful of pedestrians.
– Riders must ride maximum two abreast – not four! – and on the left hand side of the road – safety first!
– We generally ride as a single group, unless we have 12 or more riders when we would split into 2 groups (assuming we have enough ride leaders to accommodate this)
– Riders must have someone they can phone in case of emergencies and mechanical failure – it is not the responsibility of the leaders to fix a bike – but they will help if they can.
