A proper rainy winter bike ride from Macclesfield to Liverpool with AJ, starting out on quiet trails, rolling along parts of the Trans Pennine Trail, and finishing in the city for a little wander and some photos.
We ended the ride with a comfort-food stop at Jollibee Liverpool, then took the train back when it got dark and we started feeling that post-food sleepiness.

That was a good ride and well done considering the weather. I leave my mudguards on year round, invented for British weather. All the best.
Man the Rune is such a beautiful bike ! How do you like it so far ?
Seattle here. My bikes have full fenders installed until it’s time to sell the bike! 😂 great video!!
Great video. The cooling towers are the old Fiddlers ferry power station. Originally eight towers the last four are due to come down at some point during 2026. That's a lovely yellow bicycle, what make is it?
nice
great cycling vibe – you defo need the fenders
Nice 👍
The "gaming" site is the now closed down Fiddler's Ferry 2000MW coal fired power station, it closed in 2020, the second structure you questioned is the recently opened Mersey Gateway bridge. 👍
Fenders are so worth it this time of the year. We like the look of the trans penine way. Is it all tarmac?
Fenders ? Mudguards!!
Loved watching that
Happy New Year 🎉
Can't wait to try that food,looked really good ❤
What is the make of the front/handlebar bag you’re using?
Do they have Red Traffic Lights in the PI. And do you know what they mean?
You could try the Cheshire cycle ring NCN 70 …. Lovely video 😊
Interesting to hear your thoughts on the overcast weather and architecture. I hope you can hang onto the enjoyment of the contrast, as sadly it is pretty common here!
Was a lovely ride to watch, and your the rufus stone bike looks to be a lovely tourer!
Brilliant watching you cycle along Route 62. I often do the Warrington stretch myself. Around Widnes and Walton, as it runs from the Sankey Valley trail to to see it captured by another keen cyclist is brilliant.
The power station, you're right it does look right out of C&C: Red Alert, is Fiddlers Ferry Power Station. When I was passing last summer I managed to get my drone over there. If you're looking to waste a few minutes it's here, if you would like to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrLE5T0ydFQ
Have a great New Year.
I have a yellow bike that 'looks' a lot like yours. It's quite different but looks like your bike. On my channel. // I enjoyed this ride. Thank you.
