Cheshire’s terrain is noted for its Plain, but it also borders the Peak District and has a distinctive ridge running from Frodsham to Whitchurch, thus offering a fantastic range of cycling to suit all tastes.
This book comprises a collection of ten scenic routes, ranging from 33 to 100km – each starting from a different location. Where possible, the routes avoid the main roads and follow either cycle paths or quiet lanes. Five of the routes are fairly flat and the other five offer a range of climbs – the pinnacle being the infamous Mow Cop!
