Pro bikers will pedal through the Macclesfield area later this year, with the 2024 Tour of Britain Women.

The male tour of Britain has passed through Macclesfiel before, but never the women's. As this year is the first time it is being held.

Riders will traverse through Macclesfield on Saturday June 8.

The overall route will start at Welshpool and end in Leigh at the National Cycling Centre. Day 3 will have the Macclesfield portion of the four-day event.

The full map, including the route through Macclesfield.

Competitors will ascend the 5.66km-long climb from Pexhill Road to Broken Cross where the first QOM points will be up for grabs, before descending into Prestbury, which sits in sight of the Pennine foothills.

Crossing the River Bollin, the route then ramps back up to Pott Shrigley in the foothills of the Peak District where further QOM points await. 

Two further kickers in Mottram St Andrew will add a further sting before the route passes through Knutsford and onto Mere for the intermediate sprint.
