This is a wonderful ride starting in South Manchester and heading into the Peak District to see the rhododendrons, quiet lanes, lovely scenery and some short sharp climbs with over 1200m of ascent.
Head out towards Nether Alderley and up Artists Lane to soften the legs, down Birtles and onto Gawsworth then Sutton on the edge of the Peaks. Some "peak climbing" (you will enjoy Withenshaw Lane) leads you to the bottom of Wildboarclough. From here enjoy the beautiful Clough Brook, the masses of rhododendrons (mid June) as you meander up the valley, skirt around Macclesfield forest and into Langley.
Hang a sharp ride, some short steep 'bergs around Tegg's Nose to cross the Cat and Fiddle road, head over to Kerridge and then bash it back to Hale. Spot the Elk bar and enjoy a drink. You definitely won't be disappointed - and you've definitely earned it!
