Chunal and Cheshire bash

[potsy]

I'm up for this if that's ok?

So...so far I have 7th Nov at 8:45am for a 9am start.

But where though? I'm a Brinny lad so getting to Woodley for whatever time is easiest for me, but I don't mind riding or car'ing it to anywhere.

Hey that's 2 I've recruited now,better make sure I turn up

I'm meeting Fossy at his house so we could maybe meet you on route somewhere in Woodley?
We'll then have 4 or 5 miles to the meeting point.
Would imagine 8.15-8.25am.

I am proberly going to ride over,i guess my best route is through Manchester down the A57 which should be quiet on a Sunday morning.

 

[longers]

It depends where exactly you're setting off from Skud but the road will be nice and quiet at that time.

Outskirts of Tyldesley ! It will add a bit to the route but hey ho !

 

[longers]

It does add a bit onto the route for you, at least it's a straight line.

Link to Google map of meeting place, hopefully. By the statue on the crossroads - seating available.

No worries,need the exercise at the moment ! What is everyone riding ? I'm planning on bringing my MTB on trail tyres.

 

[BinBag]

I'll be on my roadie - it's not a MTB trail route is it?

Right, well I'm not that up on Woodley - apart from actually getting to the chruch on the main road. Does that sound ok?

Well I'd suggest coming to Brinny to pick you up but we like our wheels to stay on the bike

 

[BinBag]

The sad thing is there's probably an element of truth in that! .

I'll come and meet you in Woodley - just give us a post code or point of interest and I'll be there.

St Marks Church then at the Junction of Stockport Road and George Lane. Set off for 8:15 from there.

My house is just 1 minute away, and I'd have to ride past it..

It's a road route - possibly some crappy tarmac in places, but I'll be on one of two 23mm tyred bikes.

With Mr Lowry !

Skud, just to pre-warn you, you may be better on a road or hybrid if you have one. The climbs will be a drag on an MTB, especially Long Hill. The 50 mph descent of Chunal won't be possible on a MTB.....

Doesn't matter, as we do stop and re-group at the top of hills.

Skud has a hybrid(Sirrus) but he obviously wants to show off how fit he is by coming on the MTB

My bike has I have a speed limit of 30mph !! Don't do 50 in the car let alone a bike
