<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cheshire Mini Sportive </span><br />
<strong><br /></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome to the Cheshire Mini Sportive (last year known as NW Winter Sportive). This year we have two great routes 30 miles and 60 miles around the Cheshire Plains. Both routes have been designed by experienced local club cyclists and will ease you into the new season. Both routes are relatively flat with just a few bumps in them to keep it interesting </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Starting off once again at the Poynton Leisure Centre the riders will head off round the Cheshire plains. There are no big climbs, most of the route is relatively flat or are on undulating roads. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The weather in Cheshire is relatively mild compared to the rest of the North West at this time of year being protected by the Welsh hills in the West and the Pennine hills on the East. </span><br />
