There are guys from Chorley Cycling Club who get out during the week. Official rides are Saturday and Sunday with shorter training rides Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Rides during the week get organised on Facebook.
I realise it's a hike from Wigan but we do have members from the Manchester area.

AstleyCC are not really a club to be fair, just a group of guys who ride together.
There is also Leigh Premier CC

Hi icky.
If you're a Leyther then I live just up the road from you (Atherton).
I was considering a club myself for maybe spring/summer time & have looked @ both Leigh Premier & Wigan Wheelers - Astley CC might be worth a look too as it might be more informal.
Like you - I am tied mainly to weekdays due to my job.
Post me if you find what your looking for in a club.
Not sure if I want to do the whole 'Club Kit' thing though - in fact - I know I don't as I have spent a fortune on my own gear & club kit usually looks awful &/or GEEKY.
What sort of rides do you do currently ?
Cheers - Steve.

Hi Steve ironically im a Athy lad living in Leigh , not had much luck with the clubs as most of them ride out weekend mornings when im at work so I've just stuck to lone riding usually around Wigan ,Warrington ,Bolton usually 25 to 30 mile and on a day off ill occasionally push it to 60+ if I have the time on my hands . Was looking at clubs to improve my techniques and also for the company and will have another look into it this year try and make connections with riders that go out weekday afternoons.

Icky.
I am an outcast Manc who lived in Leigh & a Centurions supporter hence my username.
I won't be venturing out 'till spring/summer due to childcare & work really but I have a mate who goes out in the week with his buddy.
They have invited me out & I don't see any reason why this can't be +1.
Like I say it will most likely be spring for me - little one goes an extra day to nursery from July.
I will look out for you on here for possible future ride out or 3.
Look
Look forward to it Steve time out with other cyclists is prime will keep in contact on here and see what we can arange in spring
thanks Stephec will look into that

Hi guys.
My first post here and i saw this topic.By the way my name is Dave.
I live in Leigh too,well Lowton to be precise but a born and bred Leyther.I rode with Leigh prem last year and they are a good set of lads,the only problem is that they are race orientated,they enter comps and are very good at it too.Not really what i was looking for myself but i`m sure you would be welcomed.
Have you tried leigh-Life,me and a few others have set up a cycle group for people like me,who work during the week and not interested in racing but love cycling and touring round the local townships.We average between 30 and 50 miles but will increase that as we move on through the year.Go and check us out.
