Binners - bring it on! Let's do a joint raid on the peaks or somethin, rounded off with the kebab of our dreams?

EXTRA chilli sauce
Posted 2 years ago # -
We'll get something sorted. Maybe for next week. We've got a good urban-ish run that takes in Reddish Vale right the way out past Cheadle, Styal/Manchester airport , then Hale, Alty and back to Chorlton. All off road. About 25 miles if i remember rightly. Ideal for this time of year.
Turkish Delight to finish. We could go and invade the restaurant at the back so that we can wash it all down with copious Efes

I'd be up for that Chorlton ride if that's cool?
It's all about the Iskander...

We'd have to stash the bikes though. Binners - I've chucked somethin on your forum. Let's do it....

Must admit Turkish Delight is like a secret underground Bond Villians lair. From the front it looks just like a dodgy kebab shop...then theres the door that leads downstairs. Mint.

Back to the OP.
It's looking like either: Macclesfield, Marple, Glossop or New Mills then?
I know all these places really well and am thinking you couldn't go far wrong living in any one of them.You could probably rent a small house for the money you'll be spending on a flat in York.

Bunnyhop - yep, those are the places I'll be looking at more closely and discussing with the girlfriend. Although earlier today when I told her I'd been investigating where we could live near Manchester (didn't tell her how I'd been doing it) she berated me for not doing actual work! Pah, no pleasing some people.
Current place I rent in York is just shy of £500 a month. That's a 1 bed flat with a kitchen/living room. It has it's own loft and a shared shed which are the main reasons I took it. Maybe it's more of a bungalow than a flat. Anyway, I think that's bloody expensive but not unusual for York, not when I was looking anyway.
I'll be in touch with the STW massive closer to the time of moving for more sage advice.
Cheers everyone. You've been most helpful.

You should get a two bed place for £500 round here, I would think

Binners where do you go off road through alty?!!! I'd love a ride but all I've got is f**king trans penine which is flat flat flat flat! Tell me a decent off road ride round me (Alti)

tele... if it's the routes he's taken me on before, they're all pretty flat i'm afraid.

xherbivorex all cool now at home etc?
not really.
it's rubbish living alone after 9 years of having someone else there, but i couldn't share the place with anyone else either. and i don't want to move out cos i really like living here.
sucks.Posted 2 years ago # -
Fraid its more fun on a stolen 50cc scooter with a missing fairing round these parts

Turkish Delight is ace.
I live off Upper Chorlton Road BTW. I find Chorlton okay in small doses but prefer to head into the city.
There's no "normal" MTBing to be had but I'm currently "crisping up" a little jumpspot mini-pumptrack in Chorlton Water Park

Binners - I'll keep an eye for that ride
Posted 2 years ago # -
Well we're going to do it some time next week. Wednesday I think. We shall keep everyone posted though.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Somewhat predictably I can't do next wednesday. Ne'er mind.

ben, i found that trail btw.
although it was quite swampy the day i went over, plus my norco six was a bit overkill for having much fun on it i think.Posted 2 years ago # -
I like the Marble. They're dog friendly. Pity about the farting locals at the bar
Posted 2 years ago # -
for £450 you can get a 3 bed flat in Whitworth close to some great riding.

I'm another New Mills resi - great riding from your door 25mins into mcr on the train, easy access to Buxton - love it here.
Crazylegs where is New Mills are you? Do you have a SS Genesis roadbike and a blinged up Titus?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm another one with a chorlton passport, whilst its okay your misses would go mental driving out to Buxton every day, you've really got to be the otherside of stockport (just not in stockport as it a hole).
Hey if you guys are going out for a blast next week then post up details, I fancy getting out as I've not been out on the stumpy since christmas, its been road mile for the last 6 months!

Having lived in Macclesfield for 12 years I'd say its worth a look. Quite a strong riding scene and the Teggs Nose / Macc Forest (+ / - cumberland brook) circuit has to be one of the best year round routes in the Peak. Cycle centre in congleton is decent local ish bike shop. Good access to lakes / north and central wales / dale. Hope Valley etc is a long day ride away but do-able.
Chapel / Chinley worth a look. Loads of different riding options - hope valley / white peak as well as usual. I've been in Chapel for about 8months dont really know or ride with any of the locals but thats because I'm mainly biking with the girlfriend. 18Bikes in hope has to be favourite local shop. The canal towpath from Whalley towards manchester has just been re-surfaced so comuting along it and the cycle lanes to central manchester shoud be easy enough. The downside is its a bit more of a ball ache to get to the M6 than Macc.
