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 .

#DukinfieldCC club run, 20/08/2023, from The Rising Sun, #HazelGrove, #Stockport, is to the Pool Cafe (underneath the #lido), in #Hathersage, #HopeValley.
If you're in the Stockport/Manchester area and fancy a nice, hilly(ish) 80km bike ride with a nice climb up #AbneyMoor after the cafe stop, come along!
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!

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..

About 10km from home on Sunday (I'd done @ 93km around the #Cheshire lanes by this point) I nabbed a shot of the Phil Foden mural on the corner of Wycliffe Street and George's Road in Stockport. For scale, I rested Osgar the Orro by our Phil. Phil is #47 for Manchester City FC and a #Stockport lad. He's a top, top, top player. Mural by MANCHESTER MURALS (so it says!). #PhilFoden #ManCityFC #ManchesterMurals #Duks #DukinfieldCC #Dukinfield #Hyde #Denton #Audenshaw #AshtonUnderLyne #Droylsden #Tameside #Cycling #GroupCycling #ClubRun #ClubRides #RideWithOthers #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #LoveCycling #EnjoyCycling #CyclingIsLife #ComeCycling #JoinACyclingClub #AllWelcome

Just Dougie and I today. Only 54km but just short of 1000m of climbing! A great, local route taking in #TunsteadLane, #Diggle, #GrainsRoad and #Scouthead. Pretty chuffed that I can still get up the 15%ers (and steeper!) in my 60th year and the @orrobikes Terra C helped, too. It's an amazing machine. #Duks #DukinfieldCC #Dukinfield #Hyde #Denton #Audenshaw #AshtonUnderLyne #Droylsden #Tameside #Cycling #GroupCycling #ClubRun #ClubRides #RideWithOthers #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #LoveCycling #EnjoyCycling #CyclingIsLife #ComeCycling #JoinACyclingClub #AllWelcome

I did my longest ride since the end of October earlier. 40km round trip. The halfway point was the top of what we call "The Horse and Jockey" climb, which is the road that goes from #Uppermill to the junction with the A62, #Oldham #Huddersfield road. That's where this image was taken. I put the 40mm #Continental tyres back on my #OrroTerraCHydro the other week and they still sing! It was great to get out with two riding buddies, Lauren and Dougie, too. 2 hours of fun and not too many cars about. Love it! #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #biketoot #Cycling #GroupCycling #ClubRun #ClubRides #RideWithOthers #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #LoveCycling #EnjoyCycling #CyclingIsLife #ComeCycling
