Nice people there (I used to ride with them in the late 80's/early 90's), but the website is pants and it's only the olides left.

They did manage to dig out and scan in my first 10 mile TT from 1989 when I emailed them a while back though.

What does dig out and scan mean? I've emailed them about doing a ride with them end of this month. Think they are doing a 50 miler but me being new to this it should be my first or possibly second time I would of rode that distance.

They found the original paperwork for the time trial and scanned it to email it to me.

I live in Prestwich and ride out with a Facebook cycling group called SSG. We meet at the Velo on Sundays. It is a social group offering varying ride levels typically 30-60 miles. No one get left behind. PM me if you are interested and I can bring you along as a guest to see if you like it.

Some clubs,depending on the distance have a break half way round,ask them if they do this,as a beginner you might find that useful if you are not used to 50 miles or more.
