Description

An easy ride into Cheshire on quiet lanes. It starts from Bijou Cafe in Cheadle (open Tuesday-Saturday). Call in on Bob at the Bijou, but remember – no loitering. On Mondays and Sundays start anywhere in Cheadle.

This Perm can be ridden with the eBrevet app and can count towards the Peak Audax Round The Year award (PARTY).

There is Pay and Display parking at Massie Street, free on Sundays (although that can change). For free parking, try Abney Hall car park.

The ride has an optional climb of Swiss Hill, a notorious cobbled climb in Alderley Edge. Can you get up without having to walk? There is an enticing cafe at the top behind the Wizard pub, if that makes a bit of an incentive. Once at the top the only way is down, a swooping tree-lined descent on Artists Lane. And don’t worry, if you prefer to skip the climb (and descent), you can take the easier way alongside the Alderley Edge bypass.

If you find yourself riding through a car park at the Carrs between Wilmslow and Styal, don’t worry, you’re going the right way. You do this twice)
