Hi all,

Over recent weeks I have started riding again after many, many years (10) away from cycling in general.

Yesterday I went up to the Goyt valley and frankly it gave me a kicking from a technical perspective, particularly with respect to the rockier climbs (I did the linked route at the bottom of my email), and yet I am gagging to get back out there already.

However I was wondering if anyone had any good confidence builder routes (I don't remember being this bad all those years ago!) either in, or in shooting distance of South Manchester - I am based in Cheadle.
