This Perm can be ridden at any time of day or night using the eBrevet, except where it clashes with the Calendar version (IE not on 23 March 2025). If riding through the night, please note the loss of traditional 24 hour facillties at Ford and Newtown.

eBrevet This Perm can be ridden with the eBrevet. The Perm can be ridden on any date except 23rd March 2025 where it clashes with the Chirk 200 Calendar version of this ride. The ride counts towards both the PARTY award , and the Peak Audax SR award .

This is a long standing and popular spring classic. Start from Poynton on pleasant lanes through Bollington, Prestbury and Siddington. The Craft Centre Cafe at Poole is no longer available to us, but there is a useful early cafe (if you need it) at Church Minshull Marina.

The ride then crosses Cheshire on roads familiar with anyone who has ridden the Calendar version of this ride over the last 25 years, but we divert after Overton to take in the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site.

After a welcome pause at the Caffe Wylfa in Chirk, the return is through Overton. I've re-routed from an 'agricultural' lane near Holly Bush, which is now in a dreadful condition, before continuing through Shocklach and Tilston to Tarporley control.

The final leg uses the popular 'Winsford bypass', a short off-road stretch to cross the River Weaver in Vale Royal.

Note that our traditional car park off Park Lane (near Waitrose) is now Pay and Display. There is a maximum stay of 10 hours, so you'll need to look elsewhere. Alternatively there may be free parking at Poynton Pool carpark .
