In the lead...

Were at the start of Easter Events  here at the Dorm not being far off tucking into ones Easter Eggs as I file a report  after I'd been out for a walk nearby.

Sunday saw the Cheshire Cat sportive that started at Queens Park, Crewe  pass through the edge of our village enroute for Scholar Green and then on to the Staffordshire Moorlands over Congleton Edge toward Leek in a route that takes 174.3 kilometres in total.
From there they go around the edge of Northwich, Tarporley, Nantwich before cycling back to Crewe.
The highest point they will be climbing up to is Mow Cop which is 515 ft above sea level and clearly visible from the upper room windows which will be a bit taxing having been up there few times in the past and is home to a famous Folly, Mow Cop Castle.
The day had started off quiet foggy but by the time the first riders were passing through the fog lifted allowing the sun to shine through as I cheered them all on.
