(B taster) Hadlow Rd 10am Holt

10:00 Wednesday August 12 2026

Current Participants: 6 space(s) available


    Wednesday B ride, for potential new Friday riders.

    10am Station Master’s Cafe, Hadlow Rd the café opens at 09:30 should nutrition be needed.

    One of my occasional Wednesday rides and this one as a taster for the Friday ride group, not as long as our usual Friday rides but will hopefully be ridden at a similar pace, the ride will be over familiar territory so not too many changes other than perhaps speed.

    Some parking at Hadlow or perhaps park at Hooton if a train option back is tempting?

    Merseyrail pass holders can get the Birkenhead Central 09:30 and get to Hadlow fairly easily for 10 (not in time for coffee though), or join us at the Marsh gate sometimes after 10, book as normal but text me if you are taking either option (our arrival time at the gate would depend on any train arrival riders).

    Outbound is down across the marshes to join the river to cross the Saltney bridge (an unfavorable wind might divert us to the Greenway and Blacon) then to Airbus cyclepath, Bretton, Higher Kinerton, Barton level crossing into Rossett and then along to Holt for lunch, choice of 2 cafés, a pub, or a picnic if sit on the cross steps (Londis shop in village next to Maggie’s).

    Outbound 24m and just 230 foot of climb.

    Return loops back via Farndon, Churton, Aldford, Bruera, Saighton, Huntington, Chester (train option) then Greenway to Marsh gate, or back to Hadlow.

    Return 20m and 360 feet to the gate (add 3.3m and 220 feet for Hadlow.
