Description

A new event for 2025. A slightly shorter version of the Stafford 120km
Designed as an early season event. The route stays away from any high ground (max elevation about 160m) and stays mainly away from too many lanes. The event starts from Crewe Market Hall where Steve at Mini Beans opens the hall especially for us to serve free coffee or tea before you leave.
First to Stafford passing the pretty village of Maer, where Josiah Wedgewood lived and the church that Charles Darwin got married (blue plaque). In Stafford the control is the wonderful AlbertÆs CafΘ situated in the lovely Victoria Park on the outskirts of the town (look out for the outdoor aviaries near to the cafΘ). The return route passes through several Staffordshire villages to briefly dip into Shropshire and a control in Market Drayton. Entering Cheshire near Norton in Hales, the summit of the final climb affords a great view over the Cheshire plains.
The arrivee is the wonderful Crewe Market Hall which has loads of vendors selling all sorts of food, there is also the option of a celebratory beer from the craft beer tap vendor.
