Description

A similar route to the long running Winter Solstice, but with more lanes.
The ride starts from Memorial Park Entrance, adjacent to a Costa 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 Manor Farm Cafe (formerly Old Ma's Cafe) Gatesheath for afternoon refreshments and finishing at Marple Social & Forces Club with refreshments provided.
E-Brevet option will be available and all finishers will receive a distinctive sew on cloth event badge.
