Ideas on a good day ride loop!

Bluenose51

I want to arrange a trip for the team. We currently do the usual Cheshire road loops and yesterday did the Mcr/Blackpool organised ride.

I am after ideas on:

- 50 mile (ish) loop
- start and stop at decent hotel with lively nightlife (as middle aged men go!) in hotel or local
- a few hills are ok but not the dales, peak district etc! The Blackpool run was as challenging as we want!
- striking distance of Manchester early morning so time to do the ride that day, and stay over one night

Just ideas really!

Cheers

Lively hotel nightlife? Do you mean hookers?

Haha! These days just a good bar will do!!

Cycling as the acceptable face of alcoholism then?

There are loads of great routes in Cheshire, but the best involve a bit of climbing. Alderley Edge-Swiss Hill-The Wizard-Macclesfield-Cat and Fiddle/Macclesfield Forest-Goyt Valley-Pym chair etc...

Otherwise you can loop around the flatlands of tatton Park, but it seems rather pointless to me

Alderley edge could be a good base for WAG spotting in the evening... and you never know...
