Special or novelty rides are organised throughout the summer riding season to provide something different. Rides typically explore areas further afield or include a different riding experience. Special rides tend to be very popular so members are advised to register their interest online as soon as possible after registration opens. Entry to rides is normally closed when numbers reach 12 riders.
Special Ride, April 9th 2026 from High Legh Garden Centre to
Marton
The ride will start from High Legh Garden Centre, which is
just off the A50 at High Legh (between Lymm and Knutsford). The route will take
us around the north side of Tatton Park and through the lanes and villages of
East Cheshire. There is one serious climb up to ‘The Wizard’ at Alderley Edge
before a gradual descent which will take us through more lanes and villages to
Marton, where we will have lunch either at The Old Barn or The Davenport Arms (depending
on numbers).
There will be a ‘mod’ route of 52 miles and a 58 mile route
for anyone who fancies a slightly longer ride. To see the routes, copy the URL
