15th May 2025: Delamere (mod)

 With Dave H., Trevor C., Jim D., and others otherwise engaged, I arranged with George to start a ride from Hooton Station 09:30 am to Delamere and back. The route came from Komoot (reference: Wirral Cycling Group), who normally ride on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Both George and I found the ride interesting, with many of the roads being car-free. However, on the way back, my new Garmin sent George and me a different way, and we ended up on a carriageway for about 100 yards. This was a bit of a challenge, and George kindly offered the use of his map—sorry, George! Fortunately, we survived with no issues.

The ride did include a few steep hills, but for the most part, it was flat (see map). Near Delamere, we met young Chris, who had missed the fast ride (not sure if Chris overslept?). We all had lunch at the Delamere café. George initially opted for a vegan choice but changed his mind when I mentioned that beans on toast were his favourite.

The ride back was a bit more challenging, with some hills near Helsby. However, we both enjoyed exploring the new area, which George calculated to be 45 miles in total.
