CC Manchester/Cheshire FIXED Ride (or any bike)

[Sh4rkyBloke]

it had crossed my mind to try my new bike rack out, I guess just for testing purposes is a poor excuse not to ride there .
Its 10 miles there and 10 miles back so total riding distance for us will be about 65 miles, more for mancrider78.

That's assuming we do the whole route - last time I left the lads near Tatton Park and made my own way back from there. Didn't seem much point in going back to Stockport to come back West again. Think it was about 53 miles last time for me.

good point. Might mean getting back a little earlier too.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

can i come? or is a brommie too uncool?

 

[Tharg2007]

i think any bike/person is welcome

I have ordered my fixie, but January is the date it is meant to be arriving. Not sure yet if I can get out for this or not.

 

[Tharg2007]

in the event of a fixed not being available a shopper, ladies bike or brompton should be used instead

That's ok my road bike is a ladies bike!

Watcha gone for? I'm browsing around looking for one myself too.. I may just end up breaking into Thargs garage though and taking one of his... don't think he'd notice for quite some time given how many bikes are in there!

 

[Tharg2007]

haha I saw you eying them all up.
My garage needs a good clear out, too much stuff that isnt bikes needs to be removed to give them room

Hope the weathers better next sunday than it was today,what an absolute stinker

any objection to me joining at the unicorn roundabout if the route still goes that way? i could just ride to there rather than getting the train into stockport.

if you could give me an idea of eta that would be good.

i'll be riding gears as i seem to have lost a bit of fitness after a 3-week layoff

Is that near the Deanwater Hotel - by the Shell Station ?

Might be good for a breather as there is a little 'climb' up to the roundabout !

Yes we'll pass there - estimate would be 9.50 - 10am setting of at 9.15 - Best pulling up in front of the pub. The route will then head towards Alderley, up Hough Lane, but then turn left towards Mottram again, before bearing right and taking us out towards Birtles, rather than Alderley/Wizard/Birtles.

spot on. not sure i'd call the deanwater dip a climb, but anyway…

thanks for the info. weather permitting i'll be in my cc top for easier identification…
