Road Rides/Races

Either one really, I know the first and it isn't too bad. We'll see how it goes Saturday.

What time do you think you'll be getting back to Chorlton? I wanna come but have to be back for a party that starts early.

5ish Wayne. Not too late.

Sweet - see you at the station (if the weather's favourable (fair weather cyclist these days)).

yeah i was thinking the same...if it's fucking it down maybe not...

Forecast is good so if there's a change of plans give me a call.

Is it just three of us?

Nes - Cool! just checked out your second route. It goes past by wife's house in Halifax. I know it like the back of my hand. If you go the other way from Ripponden to Halifax past a pub called the Fleece you get a killer hill to climb. Save that for a nice sunny day and have a pint at the top then turn right, over the moors to Buckstones and down the silky smooth road into Dopbcross and Delph.

You comin Mirek?

Whatevr Wayne, I'lll be at Victoria tomorrow.

No I need to sort my brakes out and fit a longer stem, should be out next week tho

i reckon first one today and second one next time.

@mirek i have a long ahead stem if you need one

it says rain in rochdale, maybe bring a coat

Thanks Nes I've got one just need to get round to putting it on

it was beautiful thanks you two.....xx

A decentish route is out to Stockport, and cross the A6 near edgley, head along Offerton Lane towards Marple, go through Marple following signs for New Mills and then onto Strines Road, follow this to New Mills and through New Mills and Birch Vale to Hayfield.

Turn Left onto A624 towards Glossop, at top of Chunal (short but tough climb), turnn left onto Monks Lane and go to Charlesworth, left at T Junction then immediate right takes you through Broadbottom and eventually to the A57 at Mottram. Turn left and follow A57 to Manchester. About 40 miles IIRC.

38.5 so pretty much spot on. Bottled the big descent through Charlesworth... Will go back and ride up that side one day though :) thanks for the route. A.
