A chance for “the Social” to venture a little further afield.
A flat route if you ignore the short ascent of Acton Lane that takes us out via Acton Bridge, Weaverham and Hartford – and utilises the Cycled Path alongside the A556! Then home via Lostock Gralam and Pickmere with a final sprint up the Arley drag.
It’s 38miles with 1,300ft of ascent.
We typically average between 12mph and 14mph and would like to ask riders to be respectful of this for your own safety and the safety of the group. Suitable for road bikes only.

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.
We meet at the Mulberry Tree, Stockton Heath, WA4 2AF and leave at 8:30AM prompt. Please aim to be at the meeting point by 08:20AM

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.
