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 .

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

Junior Doctors take part in a picket line outside Tameside General Hospital on 11 April 2023. Junior doctors across England are striking for four days, demanding a 35% pay rise and better patient safety.
The government says there will be no pay talks with the BMA union unless it abandons its 35% starting position #healthcare #doctors #strike #picket #industrialaction #tameside #manchester #juniordoctor #ashtonunderlyne #BMA

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

Tuesday Trail Run round Stalybridge moorland and reservoirs. I would say the view was lovely but there was an eiree fog and couldn't see more than about 10 metres in front of me most of the time!
I didn't know collecting Trig Points was a thing before seeing it on here, so I might try and do a bit of that on my adventures now.

No rain today! Canal towpath was exceptionally muddy, I was slipping all over the shop ๐ 7.5 mile easy route from Greenfield towards Stalybridge.
One of my knees feels a bit rubbish, put a lot of strain shifting heavy things about up and down stairs most of last week, so I'm sure it's that more than running related, so just need to go easy for a bit, maybe give it more than 1 day off if I can

A house has collapsed after being struck by a vehicle in Ashton under Lyne, Greater Manchester on the evening of 5 January. Whilst no casualties have been reported, itโs the 2nd time in a matter of months that the property has been struck. #emergency #crash #collapse #destruction #ashtonunderlyne #smash #tameside #manchester

Despite the lovely scenery I'm struggling to find the peace and relaxation I usually find when I go running. I know it'll pass and there'll be better days but the external stresses have just been a bit overwhelming the last couple of days.
I really need to reach out to some of my running buddies to reconnect with some chatty social runs sometime soon.

Sticking to the trails today, - 8ยฐC and lethal ice out there so slow plodding off road was a good choice (although my winter-ready shorts department needs some serious investment!๐ฅถ)
Up to Hartshead Pike, a small tower on top of a hill and popular destination for walkers.

Took this last weekend on a trip to Broadbottom. I like the shape of the road and the colour of the sky which up until that point had been pretty leaden.
