Hye just type in "preparation of cyclohexane from cyclohexanol" in google they give you several methods to prepare cyclohexENE from cyclohexanol. So i would say follow that procedure and in the end when you have cyclohexene, do the hydrogenation reaction, adding H₂ Gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst (maybe palladium, platinum etc.) (resut: addition of H along the double bond). Should give you wut you want... Not too sure you should confirm first!!!!!!!!
hope that helps..
