5) Alsager to Manchester Airport

As we had two unused train tickets from the airport to home, we decided it would be a good opportunity to cycle to the airport then train home.
Using my favourite bike route planning website, I created a back lane track to the airport. Nearly all of it was on country lanes or cycle paths, so hardly any traffic. Total distance was 28 miles.
On Monday 18th March, we did the route in 2 hours 20 mins and the sun shone!
Here is a photo at the airport.
Ann is finding the bike brilliant. In the main, we are able to cycle happily at a similar pace, although, on a steep up slope, Ann does go faster than me.
I have now started to plot the route to Wengen and will publish a map next.
