This sunday service will be a standard Grassupthemiddle ride, 830 meet up at the Riverbank Cafe, then out across the cheshire tundra to Rostherne Church and back, about thirty easy sociable miles, looks like it’ll be cold and sunny still playing out on inappropriate bicycles, despite the wind and rain, still seeking out the path less pedalled The sunday service will be a simple slow sociable ride across the cheshire tundra to the bench, meeting at 830am at the Riverbank Cafe, riding for 9 and home by 12, all welcome a pleasant ride out to the bench for some sunshine didn’t disappoint, those warm rays of sunshine felt so good today In need of something to look forward to ? well check this out… It’s pretty grim out there at the moment, but still, short rides are better than no rides despite the grot ! The Sunday ride will be out to Rostherne Church, meeting at the benches at Stretford at 830am, the trails are wet and muddy so dress accordingly, around about thirty miles at a sociable pace, all welcome In search of the holy grail, it started a few years ago, a bunch of bike nerds with a shared love of slow rides down back country lanes and good coffee, local rides mixed with an occasional weekend away, lots of smiles, a fair few miles, friends new and old dropping in and out, lots of words and photos for the blog, fingers crossed for more of the same in 23 Grassupthemiddle’s first ride of 2023 ! Meeting at the Riverbank cafe at 830am on Sunday 1st January, the ride will be out across the Cheshire tundra, about twenty miles at a sociable (hungover) pace, all welcome
