Cyclists Bury.

I have been looking around for casual cycling groups in my area. Not really a bike club

 

[Brendo]

Martin I ride generally 30 miles at 15 16 average. Yourself?

I was going to buy a specialized from leisure lakes but when I went I'm with cash and viewed the bike I was offered no assistance and left the shop and bought a Giant elsewhere. I have also seen a bike on a display with the forks on the wrong way round. In my opinion it is a shop run by young lads that get discount parts not experts in their field.

Cheers @Brendo

I did find that I wondered round looking without being approached, which I kinda liked in a no hassling/hustling kinda way but also noticed like you that they were young lads.

I have another store who do Cube as an option but there bread & butter seems to be the web & clearance bikes with a very small display but huge stocks.

Will give this some thought.

 

[Brendo]

The shop I use is Ride on Rawtenstall but not a cube dealer. Excellent shop.

Sundays anything from 50 to 100+. In the week I commute 30 miles so do not do many evening rides. However, I normally do a Tuesday evening ride with a few friends setting off from Bury B&Q at Crostans retail park, the route varies but is normally 20-30 miles with about 2000ft of climbing. We go at the pace of the slowest rider but it is normally about 16mph average.

 

[Brendo]

Sounds good. Only started on the road bike this year and am picking up speed slowly. Need to start joining others at similar pace really.

I don't but to cycle chat

 

[Brendo]

Thanks.

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Meee, and ill be cycling through in about 45 mins! Bury Clarion cycling club is a top club also!

 

[Brendo]

I will also be out tonight later on though. I will possibly do 20 miles on my own but find it hard to do rides bigger than this solo harder to do.

Ride on a most excelent bike shop ! do you live near them ? I am in Rossendale but like quite a lot of the locals around here on a MTB.So if you see an aging old chap on a bso crammed full of panniers and/or towing a trailer give me a wave.

 

[Brendo]

I am up the road in Ramsbottom. I will give you a wave no problem.
