    This one is not aimed at winter, although all the lanes are good, but some are narrow and can get very mucky/ gravelly / slippery, especially Bickerton hill and the strech up around Chalmondsley. However , it’s a cracker, stays close to home and there is great protection from winds hence, this one aimed at a good work out for me with Paula in NW winds hence also goes Anti-clockwise. Where we are heading into wind is when the route goes down hill.
    This takes in some of my favourite lanes and tops out above the Pheasent inn, up Fowers lane to the top of the ridge line basically at a dead end, which I could carry on off road and down Coppermine lane, if on the Whyte, but there is a short strech of rough gravel / stone lane for half a mile. However Copper mine lane is not that good either, although tarmac, very potholed, but it is possible to ride a full circular loop over the top of the Sandstone ridge via Bickerton and Pheasent Inn.
    If with Paula then We would top out at the Pheasent inn.
    This route has been amended from last ride. Route now cuts across the corner at Cholmondsley and heads straight up along a lovely narrow lane, but not a good series of lanes after bad weather.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
