The ALL NEW Cheshire Cat Long Route!
Mow Cop plus The Cat & Fiddle! 2,496m climbing in this exciting new route.
We’ve worked hard to make this Long route an excellent one. The Cat Long has always been tough, the focal point has been Mow Cop but the overall climbing adds up to a challenging ride, its not all about that 1 hill.
We’ve left in Mow Cop because it’s so iconic and associated with THe Cat but we really wanted to bring in The Cat & Fiddle climb, so we’ve finally done it.
Its 1 of the longetst climbs there is, never steep but 11km from start to finish! All the wat from Macclesfield to The Cat & Fiddle pub at the top.
This new Long has other climbs too, the climb on the way back from feed stop 2 up Leek Road to the other side of The & Cat and Fiddle takes us to the high point of the course.
We think it’s a great evolution of this wonderful envet and we hope it really freshens it up, gives you a reason to come back and accept the new challenge!
We’ll be waiting at the finsih line where you will be greeted by an atmospheric finish offering free post ride Erdinger Alkoholfrei and BBQ Sausage Bun to enjoy whilst celebrating an awesome day out with your new finishers medal!
One to add to the list if you’ve never ridden The Cat before or come back as part of your early season tradition enjoying another great day out with Velo29.
