Morley Green & Graveyard Lane
A flat circular route with a mix of minor roads and paths. Some of the roads have very little traffic (e.g. Newgate, Eccups Lane and Moss Lane). Burleyhurst Lane is a little busier with faster moving traffic, Moor Lane is residential but does have buses every 30 minutes.

Foden & Edge View Circuit
A circular route staying on minor roads and paths for most of the route, the only main-road section is 750 yards along Chelford Road. The route also includes over a mile of the purpose-made cycle path alongside the Alderley Edge by-pass.
Please note that some sections of the route can get quite muddy when wet and during winter months.

Along the Runway to Mobberley
A more challenging circular route with a fair amount of paths, including the section of purpose-made cycle path alongside Altrincham Road (avoiding the traffic). The descent (along the cycle path) from the Honey Bee is quite steep - mind the twist in the path at the bottom by the bus-stop.
The trickier section of the ride is up the access road, past the fire station, over the river & up the other side (you may have to get off & push for a short distance).

Newgate Nature Circuit
Quite an adventurous ride with a lot of paths through Newgate Nature Reserve and alongside Lindow Moss (home of Lindow Pete). The route stays on minor roads and paths for almost all of the route, (just 50 yards on Burleyhurst Lane and 100 yards on Moor Lane). The route also goes over the old Newgate Tip site (closed in 2000 and has now successfully been returned to nature); there is a slight incline going up over the site and a gentle down-hill path on the other side.

Twice Along the Carrs and a Tour of Lacey Green
A slightly hilly route avoiding the busier roads, however care is required to cross both Altrincham road and Styal Road twice each. The slopes of note include the descent from Hawthorn Lane into the Carrs, a gradual climb along the cycle path into Lacey Green, the descent down Cliff Lane and the climb from the river up past the rugby club onto King’s Road.

Lindow to Row-of-Trees Circuit
A fairly flat circular route staying on minor roads and paths for almost the whole route, the only main-road section is 250 yards along Knutsford Road (there is pavement both sides for younger riders). The route also includes over a mile of the purpose-made cycle path alongside the Alderley by-pass. Please note that some sections of the route can get quite muddy when wet and during winter months. There is also a gate along Carr Lane that might be closed, which would require you to lift your bike over.

Figure of 8: The Carrs and Newgate
A figure of eight route with a mix of minor roads and paths taking in a scenic path along the river Bollin (mind all the dogs!) and a trip down Newgate. Most of the roads have very little traffic, however care is required to cross the busy Altrincham road (suggest you dismount). There are two slopes to be aware of, the first is a tarmac path descent by the rugby club and the second is a tarmac path ascent up to Hawthorn Lane (some children may need to get off & push). Please note that some sections of the route can get quite muddy when wet and during winter months.

There are no hills or slopes to climb, just a slightly bumpy descent on the return path after Barlow House Farm. Please note that some sections of the route can get quite muddy when wet and during winter months.
