As it says Ladies and Gents. Just moved down from Scotland and looking for suggestions for after work now it’s light without having to drive too far.

Cheers

Whereabouts in Manchester?

If south, then llok no further than the South Manchester Massive…. binners of this parish is yer man. Though you might have to ride with Hora….

We’re out every week after work. Manchester – downside is there’s not much exciting riding from the door if you’re in proper central Manchester (i.e. inside the M60), but if you’re willing to drive it’s central for S Pennines, Calderdale, Dark Peak, etc etc all doable as night rides.

Though you might have to ride with Hora….

you’re joking aren’t you tom? ha!

anyway, lee quarry is less than a half hour car ride north out of the centre of manchester and it’s great fun…

The North Manchester Massive (all four of us) get out once a weekish from Prestwich (just inside the northern tip of the M60). Loads of good stuff right on the doorstep.

Good stuff. I’m in Salford Quays so motorway is pretty accessible.

Roadbike or Hebden Bridge/Calderdale (40mins), southern-tip of the Peaks. If you are used to Scotland/Hills I wouldnt recommend riding locally off-road.

Rivington (big telly mast ) down M61 people off here ride there tues weds thurs (different folk mind) so e-mail me and I will sort something out for you …where they did the Commonwealth games he says lightly overselling it!!Riding there tomorrow if you are keen.
PS if you see Hora on a bike take a picture (will need to see the forks in shot to verify how recent :lol:)

Was there today, Deansgate was pretty quiet, roadworks, as was parts of the ring road, for once.

Seriously though there is good rideing to be had near heaton Park,cheetham hill way.

project- I actually think they should pedestrianise about 0.5miles of Deansgate now…….safer for shoppers….better…
