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!

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, #ChristianStrasser, has just entered #NorthMacedonia, has done @ 2900km at an average of 494km PER DAY! He'll probably finish tomorrow!
Chapeau, Phil, you are AWESOME!!!

A Dukinfield CC clubmate (Phil Cunningham, #94) is currently 300km into this year's #Transcontinental race from Belgium to Greece. It's a beast of a route and I don't envy him, or any other rider, with the current conditions on mainland Europe.

Sepp Kuss wearing a Jumbo Visma top with a chest panel design exactly similar to (my club) Dukinfield CC's pre-2022 tops! I expect goodies in return! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling #JumboVisma #Duks #DukinfieldCC #SeppKuss #JohnEtchells

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

It was the Interclub 10 mile Time Trial yesterday and my club, Dukinfield CC (a.k.a. The Duks), had four riders in it. Pictured (L-R) David "Bam Bam" Bamford, Karen Newby, Ash Cooney, Emidio Santos and Steve Holt (didn't ride, was marshalling). Ash was the fastest Duk in a time of 28:10, an amazing effort in his first ever TT. Great efforts by all involved. So a solo 80km Sunday ride for me out to #Siddington to meet the guys and catch up. Top. #Duks #TimeTrial #GoAsh #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling

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

#ThrowbackThursday to this summer when Dougie (at the back), Lauren (the knackered one) and I had just ridden up the 15%-er out of #Diggle , #Lancashire. Longing for the warmer days, already!
