Butty devised the route and TJ (and Enid ) hosted us afterwards at&nbsp; Jacksonville , Higher Poynton . &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route itself was based upon a section of a designated (and signposted) route known as Laureen\u2019s Ride . I think its a horse\/bike\/walkers thing. We had a familiar route towards Alderley Edge (and beyond) to meet up with the LR bit at the back of Chelford . This brought back memories of my cycle commutes to and from Barclays . Quiet lanes and off road bits where I could . After Styal we left the LR section and Butty had devised an excellent route using lots of A555 cycle path , a path along Poynton Pool (dodging dog walkers and fishermen) and the excellent off road Poynton Incline (one of several) which climbs gradually to higher the upper reaches of Poynton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A nice mixture of machinery on show by the crew . Smiffy on his bling titanium cross bike with carbon forks. Croxy arrived on his E-gravel beast which you would struggle to identify as being e-equipped ! A very subtle design. I chose my trusty 26inch Cotic Soul hardtail &#8211; which is fairly nippy on the flat if the tyres are fully pumped up.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/54655062224\/in\/album-72177720327552748\" title=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2125\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54655062224_47b5b79e79_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2125\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>All managed the Bradford Lane descent without incident \u2026even those with no suspension&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those on full sussers felt the benefit on the Hocker Lane cobbles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/54655060418\/in\/album-72177720327552748\" title=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2126\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54655060418_e5d0c58780_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2126\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>At the back of Chelford we entered the champagne triangle land \u2026.lots of gated mansions and f-off big motors .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some really nice tracks across fields and through little wooded bits&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/54655170920\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2129\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54655170920_e05fe564e0_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"20250703iPhone 14 ProiPhone 14 Pro back triple camera 6.86mm f-1.78IMG_2129\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>A brief \u201cheritage appreciation\u201d stop at Styal Mill&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A welcome visit to The Ship Inn \u2026.we were definitely ready for a beer .
