Today's #DukinfieldCC ride was a hilly one, @ 1200m in 77km. We headed north out from Dukinfield through #Heyrod, #Mossley, #Greenfield and #Uppermill before starting the long climb from #Delph up #MarsdenMoor. At the top of the moor we headed west down the fast, but windy, descent over the #M62 motorway before turning left again taking us to #ScammondenDam. From there we headed across country taking in a few 10% plus-ers before hitting the main road that climbed to the top of #CraggVale. Another windy but speedy drop took us the the cafe in #Littleborough for coffee and refuel before the ride home through #Newhey, #Shaw, #Lees and #Dukinfield. Top day with Angie, Ash, Jane, Paul and a new rider, Andy. #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Duks #Cycling #GroupCycling #ClubRun #ClubRides #RideWithOthers #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #LoveCycling #EnjoyCycling #CyclingIsLife #ComeCycling #JoinACyclingClub #AllWelcome

Sneaked out yesterday afternoon for @ 40km doing some local lumps. Just about 10km from home you really get into the hills if you head north and/or east. Lovely countryside, hard as nails, but so rewarding. This photo is from the top of #Lydgate near #Mossley. It's a three step climb, short but very steep on the steps! I love riding my #bike .

We meet at the back of the #RisingSun at 9.30am for a 9.45am set off.

All are welcome and NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND!

Yesterday saw just four of us set off from #Dukinfield Town Hall to #AlderleyEdge for the #cafe stop. Our #Portuguese rider, Emidio, wasn't feeling too good so I promised to keep the route as flat as possible and at a super manageable pace. And I held that promise true! Just around 64km with about 350m of elevation, so not that hard and it was really nice and steady. Great company and chats, good coffee and a #vegan #RockyRoad at #CostaCoffee in Alder
ley Edge. Nice! We spotted an ex-footballer, now #Radio5Live pundit, #RobbieSavage, too. Top morning on the #bike

Just under 80km this morning with #DukinfieldCC clubmate Ash. We headed west towards #ManchesterAirport, into a 30kph headwind, then turned just after #Ashley to head east with a stop at #Mobberley Ice Cream Farm (near #Wilmslow). Three triathletes were there, one still had their #Ironman number on the seat post! After coffee we headed home with a nice tailwind, in time to catch stage 2 of the #TourDeFrance. Top morning. #cycling #BikeTooter #BikeToot #ClubRun #ClubRides

Just under 80km today with #DukinfieldCC , an easy, flat(ish) ride through north #Cheshire. The only serious climb of the day was up #ArtistsLane and the #WizardTeaRooms are at the top of the climb so a great place to stop for coffee and to refuel. And it gave Emidio the chance to take the obligatory selfie of us all (L-R Jon, Dan, Paul, me, Ash, Emidio). From there it was mainly downhill back to East #Manchester. Lots of laughs, sun, no rain and good times! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Duks #GroupSelfie #ClubRun

Another excellent Dukinfield CC ride, this time to Farm Made Tearooms at #Rainow, with Jane and Paul Nyland, Danny and Emidio. The cafe is in a glorious setting, near the bottom of #BlazeHill. And you get the chance to see #WhiteNancy . The only drawback today was my chain snapping at the bottom of the Climb Of Doom, a.k.a. #Chadkirk. I managed to get that sorted but walked up the climb as I didn't want to risk using my excessive wattage again in case I snapped it one more time. So that's a new chain and cassette I'll be ordering..
