CC Manchester/Cheshire FIXED Ride (or any bike)

[Tharg2007]

maybe i should buy the missus some new shoes or something the day before

swiss hill? on a fixed??! IN NOVEMBER???!!!!!

are you mad?

We'll miss that - go via Hough Lane then left instead of right to Alderley, then head through Mottram St Andrew and to Birtles from there.

Sounds good to me, I probably won't have my fixed by then, unless I find a money tree. So I'll be cheating with gears! Can't do any sunday in October but November should be fine!

8th should be ok with an early start…

 

[alecstilleyedye]

it's easier to be the one on gears in a group that's fixed than the other way around…

pace will be that of the slowest rider by the sound of it.

This lot really wait for everyone so no need to worry! I am not fast and I've never been left behind! My group riding experience is riding with this lot so don't worry!

 

[skudupnorth]

I would like to have a do at that,be good to put faces to names......i hope

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

I'm very tempted - be happy to accept someone who's not cycled in a group before?

What sort of pace do you estimate?

(I wont be on a fixed!)

It's Fossy... on fixed... so probably about 35mph... on the uphill.

I'm not the fastest rider in the world but had no probs on my prev outing with Fossy, Longers and Dan_Bo... a lovely ride it was too (apart from the torrential rain as we got to Jodrell Bank!!). Longers and Fossy left me and Dan standing on the hill, but waited at the top for us like the nice chaps they are.

It's a social ride, so we stick together - or if it's a climb, do it at your own pace and we re-group at the top.

All welcome.

Wouldn't mind a dabble but I will most probably slow you all down, Have a nosey on cycle log for my stats...not updated recently allthough commute of around 7.5m is down to 35mins

Don't worry about it- come along. I bet a lot of that 7.5 mile is in traffic.

 

[MancRider78]

yup quite a bit

 

[RedBike]

Put me down for this; I will be on fixed. (Yes I still hate going down hills fixed wheel!)

 

[MancRider78]

what sort of time would we be looking at?

 

[MancRider78]

just checked train times and I can only get into stockport at 08:10

Is this too early for people or what they were thinking of?
