Cheshire is famous as a cycling favourite amongst those wishing to race through its leafy borough. From the Cheshire plain to its many traffic free routes, there are over 200 miles of cycling routes for both the avid cyclist and those of us looking to set a more sedate pace.

The recent increase in the popularity of cycling can also largely be attributed to the success of cyclist such as Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, let’s not forget the amazing Sir Chris Hoy, whose own success in the field has helped pave the way for increased funding and appreciation of the sport. As part of this year’s Tour of Britain Sir Bradley Wiggins will return to represent team Wiggins alongside fellow Olympian Owain Doull.
