Re: First Bikepacking adventure in the north west, looking for company

Hi Bud, 100 miler atm is probably a bit too much for me, as I have done a few rides recently(10-15miles), but nothing major, also not used my bike heavily laden either.

Re: First Bikepacking adventure in the north west, looking for company

Sounds like a plan, is that pub the one off alder lane? if so, thats only 5 miles from me. I was thinking about heading to Delemere, Funnily enough, that sounds like a perfect route.

Thanks bud, I am in birchwood, so the m62 side of warrington, just off junction 11. I have predominantly done on road cycling but want to broaden my horizons by doing some bikepacking, so off road tracks ideally.

First Bikepacking adventure in the north west, looking for company

Hi All,

I have just recently got into bikepacking, all my kit is on order and looking for an adventure, initially somewhere semi local so i can test everything out without being too far from home. I live in the north west (warrington). Is anyone possibly up for a ride or after some company?
