exact spot is on this google link - route shown from cross roads at A49 / A533 cross roads, that road may be busy with works traffic at that time in the morning
would it not be a good idea for all the northwich lot to meet and ride there...
even meet at hatchmere and ride ❓
Just as a note - bear in mind that it might be getting a bit busy around Sutton Weaver swing bridge from now on for a good while. They are starting to put up a temporary bridge this week, with a view to using it whilst they re-furbish the swing bridge. This is supposed to be in place till September 2014.
See picture below of the road plan, that will ultimately come into force (although not by next Wednesday I wouldn't have thought).

Sounds like a great ride, unfortunately, as in the lyrics of a song by the Jam (i am sure Jules will get it), "work comes first, i am sure you will understand" 😥
Have a good one, hope the weather is fine.
PS, the new bridge wont be in place by next Wednesday, they are still digging out for the foundations
