      https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/79383921

      We will be meeting at Hooton Station at 10 am, but please arrive by 9.45 for registration with the ride leader Sue Hughes.

      There are a two quite steep hills on the outward leg, towards Barrow, so on the day you will need to bring your climbing legs and use those lower gears.

      Lunch will be at Bluebell Cafe at approximately 12 noon.  Sue has booked tables, but because of the numbers involved the cafe needs to know what riders would like to eat and drink beforehand.  So please let Sue Hughes know by email  (suehughes@ntlworld.com) as soon as possible, but at least two days before the ride, what you would like to eat and drink.  An extract from the menu is shown below and the cafe will provide the usual range of drinks: tea, coffee, soft drinks, etc.  NB: If you are having a sandwich, please let Sue know if you would like it as a sandwich or as a toastie, and if you would like it on brown, seeded or white bread.  Baguettes are on either wholemeal or white. 

      After lunch, Sue will be returning back via Mickle Trafford and Picton Rd. Dunkirk, Capenhurst Hooton
