CC Jodrell Bank Run Spring 2012 - SUNDAY 22nd April

[Holdsworth]

This ride sounds rather interesting and is quite local. Put me provisionally down, I hope to be able to take part but I do not know what my shifts will be that week and may end up being busy that day.

Me,Me !!!! Got a shiny fixed in the garage waiting to get dirty and seeing as i missed todays ride i need to escape and come out to play

 

[Schneil]

Oooh! A ride near me (Stockport)
Could you provisionally put me down? Bear in mind I'll most likely be on the tank (hybrid) so I'll average 12mph.

 

[fossyant]

I promise to sort a route out ASAP !

Don't knock hybrids (see my signature) I did the forum 100 miler yesterday on mine and it was a breeze.

I can vouch for this - the fact that ILS rode my forum 100 miler on his hybrid and that he looked very comfortable at all times! (Unlike me ...)

Don't forget, Colinj doesn't do traffic lights, he's scared of our big city ways

A dirty bike is a slow bike. Red and blue bikes are fastest, especially when clean.

Colin had a clean red bike yesterday, I think your argument is flawed somewhat

What's this, get at Colin day ?

I ideally want a route that skirts the top of Poynton, Bollington just before the big hills, then comes out the other side of Macc, without hitting some killer hills.

It's the crossing of the Cat and Fiddle I have to watch the route - get it wrong and you've got some nasty hills (this is supposed to be a flat ride). I think we will ride past Arighi's then up towards Macc Forrest and Sutton but stick to the flat bits. I also want to go a little further south before tracking upto Jodrell for Lunch. Home via Tatton again I think, this gives us the 'split' option here.

I put up with the heavy traffic through Kirkham yesterday (population 7,127). All 2 minutes worth of it!

Yes, I admit it - I don't like busy roads and I do like clean air, peace and quiet and green fields - what's wrong with that?

I'll have you know that my maximum speed yesterday was 60!




(Okay - kph, downhill to Ribchester.)

sounds good. Hopefully I'll be on my new bike by then...! Got a route to post up yet?

Ride from Bollington through Kerridge and cut along Fence Ave to miss the A523 dual carrigeway past Arighis. Then up Buxton Road for a couple of hundred meters and along Black Road takes you to Windmill Street from which you can easily get to Byrons Lane towards Sutton but avoids all the town centre dualcarrigeway stuff.

Great, sounds like a plan. I usually just fly up Silk road, but it's not great with a big bunch. Fine on your own.

can i come i've not been on a big group ride for a while?

 

[oldfatfool]

If I can get out of bed in time to cycle to Stockport I would love to join you, Don't wait for me though I'll either be there for 9am or not
