This is a slightly tricked up route to dodge Northerly winds and takes on most of my favourite lanes in this southern area and therefore a few small hills. With a lovely quaint lunch stop at the Cholmondley cafe always quiet. Or there is the option of the Cholmondley Arms, which is very nice .
Easy Tailwind start, pretty much for a good 18 miles, until we climb out of lower Wych, which is where it starts to get tougher, not just the hill, but directly into the northerly headwinds for a mile and then things improve at the junction. We then track across the wind to the cafe, the best we can, but the last 1.5 miles to the cafe will be into wind, as there is not much cover on those narrow lanes.
After the cafe it’s a cross tailwind and uphill until Pod house and then we get help from the downhill and cover on the uphill bits all the way back to Tattenhall, but hilly of course.
