    This is the best route I can create from home for north westerly winds. It really is perfect with only short sections into wind and even those are down hill and therefore counter the wind. The worst bit is the last 2 miles home. This route can be tuned into a longer ride by simply repeating the main 10 mile loop. So x2 loops and home would become 28 mile ride x3 would be 40 miles, if I stop at Tilly’s cafe in Bunbary on the 3rd lap.
    The NW legs are up hill like Brown Knowl and Harthill, with great hedgerow cover. And of course Peckforton Rd to Bickerton is protected by the ridge line, as long as the wind doesn’t swing to south westerly

    Very easy to extend the circuit by a couple of miles by taking Bickerton hill and thus Brown Knowl then Harthill, as opposed to turning right at Bickerton , straight into Harthill.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
