The 5-mile Family Route starts by heading north out of Macclesfield along The Middlewood Way. It continues towards Bollington, where it briefly joins quiet roads before rejoining The Middlewood Way and heading south back towards Macclesfield.
See routeCheshire Plain — 30 miles
Ride around the beautiful Cheshire Plain with its quiet hedgerow-lined lanes. The route heads west from Macclesfield towards Jodrell Bank then north towards the feed station at Great Warford Baptist Church. Then it is on to Alderley Edge and Mottram St Andrew before returning to Macclesfield town centre where the welcome of the finish line awaits.
See routeCheshire Plain — 60 miles
The longer 60-mile route follows the 30-mile route to the feed station at Great Warford. It then continues west, following quiet Cheshire lanes towards Tatton Park. From here more country lanes link to Byley where the route turns for home, heading northeast back towards the feed station for another refreshment stop and the final push back to Macclesfield to collect your finishers' goodies.
