Description

A similar route to the long running Winter Solstice, but with more lanes.
The ride starts from Marple Girl Guides Hut where you'll be welcomed with a cup of tea or coffee.
The route follows a slightly undulating route to Alderley Edge before a relatively flat route across the Cheshire Plain to Market Drayton for a lunch stop, returning via Whitchurch and a visit to Lily's Cafe in Aldford for a cake stop. We finish at the Marple Social & Forces Club with refreshments.
E-Brevet option will be available and all finishers will receive a distinctive sew on cloth event badge.
