CC Manchester/Cheshire FIXED Ride (or any bike)

[mike e]

I'm in if that's ok, I'll be coming across in car picking up marinyork on the way.

I'm right in thinking - Stockport train station 09:00am for a 09:15am depart Sunday morning

Where would be the best place to park the car and without costing a fortune?

Tharg, myself and my mate Andy who was at the Velodrome session on Tuesday will be heading over for about 9am. Not sure whether MancRider will be joining us from Eccles... I shall PM him/her to see.

Should be a good one... assuming the weather report is accurate... but then we all know that the weather's a chaotic system, and thus cannot be predicted...

Mike e - you can park near the station - there are plenty of car parks, as the station is situated at the rear of 'Grand Central Leisure Complex' (Cinema, MacDs, Laser Quest, Bowling).

We'll meet on the road, just outside the station entrance.

have fun you guys - I will be racing CX in the Lake District - think I will need waterwings at this rate. It might get rather muddy as well.

I'm afraid i'm going to have to pull out. I'm off the bike with a lovely skin infection.

I'm under strict instructions to rest so that my body can fight it off and to avoid getting wet. I'm not sure a 100ish mile ride in the rain would count as resting and keeping dry.

sooooo......what time are we meeting then? sharky etc, can i meet you en route? I don't know the way to stockport on my tod

 

[Tharg2007]

we are meeting 9.00am at the station
will be taking this route
or maybe this one
The latter would probably be best as we would avoid a few roundabouts near the pyramids and also get onto stockport road in leve and meet up on there maybe.

 

[Tharg2007]

I recon if we set off from urmston at 8am we would be at weybrook road on the a6 outside mcvities for 8.35

 

[dan_bo]

right i'll sort it.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

That latter route looks better... there's a nasty hill up through Didsbury leading to Stockport but the route East on that last suggestion is pretty flat (IIRC).... not sure how though as there's a nice downhill into Stockport from it, but seemingly no uphill!!

Dan, I'll PM you my number so you can get hold of us if you arrive early or will be late, likewise if you give me yours we can contact you when we're en-route/close.

Anyone got any word from The Big Man (assuming he exists) as to when he's going to stop peeing on us down here?

 

[Tharg2007]

weather is looking good for sunday, dry and sunny spells

wybrook road arround 8.35 it is then

 

[Tharg2007]

[mike e]
