50 Best Cycle Rides in Cheshire

Graham Beech

Enjoy the great outdoors through the healthy exercise of cycling with Graham Beech's book, which contains rides around Cheshire.

Every cyclist should be leaping into their saddles with this new book" THE CHESHIRE MAGAZINE.

This is the first book of bike rides to cover the whole of Cheshire - with a massive 50 to choose from! Suitable for both casual cyclists looking for peaceful rides along country lanes and for hardcore enthusiasts who enjoy more demanding routes. There are rides from an easy 8 miles in the Cheshire Plain up to 20 mile hill routes in the Peak District's foothills.

Quiet by-ways are used so that cyclists are kept away from busy main roads. For mountain bike enthusiasts, there are plenty of off-road routes to explore, though almost all the routes can be tackled by a standard tourer. All routes are circular and access is easy: car-parking is highlighted for those who drive to the start-points; most are near to BR stations; and many cycle-hire centres are listed so that you can just turn up without a bike and still enjoy a super day in the Cheshire countryside.

Apart from the fun and exercise that this book offers, local features and places to visit are suggested, and pubs and cafes are recommended for refreshment stops. Outline sketch maps are provided for ease of navigation and all routes are split into sections to permit convenient access at various points.

Graham Beech has been a keen cyclist and rambler all his life and in this book shares with his readers all the best bits of Cheshire, as only a local to the area can. He and his wife run the publishing business that is Sigma Press, and their interest in the great outdoors is reflected in the many publications on the topic produced at Sigma.
