Any Bike, Any Rider Cycle - Styal to Tatton Park

A leisurely social bike ride into the Cheshire Countryside and linking a couple of National Trust Properties. Starting at Quarry Bank Mill and visiting Tatton Park, a National Trust Property with approximately 1000 acres of parkland and a resident herd of deer.

The majority of this ride will be on quiet rural roads, with a few short off road sections, heading out around Mobberley to Knutsford before entering Tatton Park, where we should be able to stop at the Court Yard Cafe for coffee and snack.

The return via a different route exiting the Park towards Rostherne following lanes and dedicated cycle paths to pass close to the Southside of the Airport

This event is around 25 miles and is reasonably flat.  Whilst the majority of the route is on quiet lanes, please note we do pass through Knutsford Town Centre on some busier roads.

We have plenty of time to complete the route and we will take it at a relaxed pace and no one will be left behind.

Given the time of the year, the event may need to be resceduled should temperature be at or below freezing point on the day.

Road cyclists: Please be aware some paths might be a little rough and bumpy for thin tyres, but doable none the less. and given the time of the year, some sections of mud/water can be expected on the trails.
Mountain bikers: The majority of the route will be on paved surfacing, so knobbly tyres will be a little over kill for the ride, but don't worry it will be at a slow pace.

Pace and Terrain

This will be a leisurely cycle suitable for those of all levels of fitness. The majority of the route is on quiet rural lanes, with some short off road sections and a short section along a dedicated Cycleway. This event is open to cyclists of all abilities and bike types. There are a couple of small hills en route, but nothing too long, and no harm if you need to walk up them.

If you're not a regular cyclist, please do make sure your bike is in good condition - check the tyres are well inflated, chain is oiled, and you've got a spare inner tube, drinks and snacks with you.
