C&NW CTC Bob Clift Memorial Cheshire Cycleway Rides 2025

 Created by Bob Clift, the 150 mile Cheshire Cycleway was originally established in 1986.  This event celebrates  Bob's memory, with two shorter rides better suited to current town and road conditions.

The rides give you the opportunity to cycle either  50 miles through the beautiful West Cheshire countryside or 80 miles through the Eastern side towards a slightly more hilly region. 

The start/finish is at Duddon Village Hall  Willington Road  Tarporley  CW6 0EZ where there is ample free parking.

Join us in the 31st running of the iconic ‘GridIron 100’.

One of the oldest on-road Cycle Randonnée’s in the UK. Acclaimed for the beauty of its route, along scenic minor roads, on a circuit of the New Forest adorned in its bright patchwork of stunning autumn colours.

Following last years success we again offer the choice of two routes. The original ‘Classic 100k’, designed to appeal to cyclists of a wide range of abilities and the inaugural ‘Challenge 100 mile’ - a much more demanding ride for the experienced cyclist.
