Brendan Casey 🇮🇪🥦🚴🇪🇺Today was the #DukinfieldCC inaugural Bob Ingham Memorial ride. Lots of off-road around Cheshire. Great company and a fantastic route. So much fun. #cycling #GravelRide #OutsideIsFree #alpacas #BikeTooter #BikeToot
Just three #DukinfieldCC riders out today. Up #WessendenHead, which I'd forgotten how relentlessly, and consistently, hard it is, but worth the #MaximumEffort. Just over 60km and >1000m of elevation in the sunshine with Paul and David. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #DuksCC #Duks #PinarelloMarvel #Pinarello #BikeTooter #BikeToot
Got 75km and >1000m done with two mates out to Scammonden dam then a lovely tailwind home. I've done this ride a few times now and always see the same pig but this time he was with some sheep mates and not on his Jack Jones. It's a hard but very rewarding ride, as you can probably tell! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #cycling #ScammondenDam #CHPT3 #SCC3 #UpInTheHills #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #DukinfieldCC #Duks #VeganCyclist #EatPlantsAndRide
70km done this morning, the first half with #DukinfieldCC, up to the top of #LongHill with a lovely #tailwind. The club carried on to #Hartington and I did a 180 and came back via #Strines and #Compstall. Lots of climbing and great fun (???), if windy and cold! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #ThePeakDistrict #TheGoytValley #FromWhereIRide
I met up with the #DukinfieldCC guys first thing but left them after a few miles as I had to head for home. I needed to sort the loft out as we're getting the roof done so I have to make space! This picture is on Middlewood Road, near #HazelGrove. The very busy A6 is in stone throwing distance but you can't hear it from this spot. It's one of my favourite roads to ride on, especially when it's fully green! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling #VeganCyclist #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #FromWhereIRide #OutsideIsFree
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 .

Unfortunately, my #DukinfieldCC clubmate, Phil Cunninhgam, has today decided to scratch from the #Transcontinental. He started a route, overnight, after the #Stelvio, that took him towards the #Dolomites but this morning still had @ 200km to do by midnight, tonight, in order to reach Check Point 2 (#CP2) within the time limit. He's gutted, obviously, so we've all advised him to fill up on pizzas and beers (lots of), get loads of kip, be a tourist OFF the bike for a few days then get the train(s) home and surprise Mrs Cunningham early!
Attached are his final stats.
Just for reference, the leader, #ChristophStrasser, has just entered #NorthMacedonia, has done @ 2900km at an average of 494km PER DAY! He'll probably finish tomorrow!
Chapeau, Phil, you are AWESOME!!!
My mate who is doing the Transcontinental 2023 is currently at the foot of the #Stelvio Pass, from the Bormio side. He reached #Control Point 1 (CP1), near #Livigno, last night with just over an hour to spare. He's currently done @ 1200km having ridden from #Belgium, through Eastern #France, up the #Grimsel Pass in #Switzerland and now heading through Northern #Italy then onto #Slovenia. The leaders are already in southern #Bosnia! At least, after the Stelvio, Phil will have an "easier" couple of days following rivers and valleys into Slovenia.
