So for NYE a group of us rode to Alderley Edge to celebrate new years with a bike ride to a kinda cliff edge where you can see all over Cheshire.
When I was getting ready to go I was a bit aprehesive about the whole thing. THe weather had said it was gonna be MINUS 9 and the visabilty was shite.
I’d arranged to meet everyone at The Bar in CHorlton at 8pm so I packed my whiskey infused hot chocolate and loads of jumpers into a bag and set off thinking there was a possibility we wouldn’t end up going.
When I got there 4 people were gonna be an hour and a half late so we decided to drink beers and wait for them, which warmed me up quite a bit! When they came we set off into the fog and cold.
It was actually a real nice ride, though we did kinda ride on a motorway some of the way but the roads were totally empty and so it was pretty glorious to ride around.
We got to the wizardly hill that leads up to “The Edge” and it was pretty tiring with the cold freezy weather in my lungs but eventually we made it, Jonathon’s broken ribs a bit sore!, to the sign that read “to the edge”.
We walked out to the edge and lit a fire and drank hot chocolate and I sang 90’s R n B pop songs and danced to keep warm. At midnight we heard millions of fireworks but due to the fog we couldn’t see all of them yet we did see the ones that were close by.
We rode back after a couple of hours down undulating, deserted roads…beautiful…
thanks to everyone that came x x
