I've got a half day at work tomorrow and i'm hoping to get out on the bike. I'm looking for a 60ish mile loop, ideally a nice ride on some quiet country roads. Anywhere from Merseyside to the East of Manchester, and from South Lancashire to North Cheshire.
Any suggestions?

    HMMM - May poach a few of these for my GPS, close enough for me to give them ago.

    Are they all on quiet / country roads or a mix?

    I did a ride to Winterhill last Sat, and although I enjoyed the ride, I could have perhaps plotted a quieter route. People were staggering around the towns pissed at 2/3pm on a Saturday :lol:

    Pretty much quiet roads yes, they are a collection of clubs runs and rides with friends I've done this last year. Only one I can think of with a serious main road is the run to the Chestnut Centre when we chain ganged it back down the Chapel Bypass :lol:
