More a pootle than a savage Pelaton if I’m honest..
5.30ish start- carpark inbetween Stretford tram and the Streford Mall.
Pubstop at the Swan with two nicks.
Email in profile too.

I’d be up for that apart from the pub stop.

Ok Pub dropped. I’ve been getting round without a stop. I find when I stop its like starting a new ride from cold again anyway. 🙂

eek, sorry. Should have said that I’ll be up for that if I get permission from the missus.

Oh aye ‘the missus’ – thats normally a get out clause 😉

Hora, I’m keen as my usual riding buddy is out sick for the next 6 weeks.
I’m based in Flixton so depending on route could join you guys part way in.

What route do you do??

Dave

From Stretford Mall- passed Carrington Power station – uptowards Lymm, then round back down past Bollington to Dunem Massey and Stretford if that helps?

So do you come donw streford road and then church road, or Chester road through to Sale then across??

Not Chester road > Sale

Yep Stretford road then Church road way. Your not the bloke on a white carbon Boardman or the quick fella with bibs on from last night are you?

I wish!!
I’m the eejit on a vintage Quintana Roo TT bike who has no idea how to time trial!!

I’ll try pick you guys up outside “The Church” at the end of Church road

Looking forward to riding with some new folk 😆

Dave

Right I think I know where you mean. I’ll be on a baby blue PlanetX and wearing this:

Be there circa 5.40 if I pass Stretford Mall at 5.30. Be patient. I’ve found that if I start off slow I seem to be endless happily spinning along. When I start off pedalling to ‘catch up’ I feel off/never quite on it.

No worries. I’ll stick out like a sore thumb as i only have an old MTB helmet so look very much non roadie!!

I decided that asking forgiveness is easier than asking permission. Stretford at 5:30 on a white and black Trek.

I can’t remember a car park between the mall and the tram. There’s one at the tram where the shuttle bus runs from and one on the far (west) side of the mall. Looking on Google, there appears to be one on the south of the A5145 and east of A56. Is that the one you mean?

cheers

Look at this postcode: Atlas bathroom supplies: M32 8LG on google maps- its the carpark infront of that. I’ll be at the corner of it- just before it goes down into the underground underpass that goes under the main road.

Just for the record, we are riding bikes and not going dogging?? 😯

Longer, different route next week then 😀

Hora, did you drop the peloton ?

Good ride tonight.
The pace went to pot towards the end but still good to be out.

Definitely a bit longer next week 😀
