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

A green hill with a few cars at the foot of it. Above is blue, sunny sky with a few broken clouds.

A group of cyclists either sat or stood near benches and tables outside a cafe. In the background is a brick railway bridge with a few arches underneath, and a church spire poking upwards just to the left of centre.

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!

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

A Strava map showing the route taken in orange, which is - almost - a figure of eight. The route starts in the north, in Dukinfield, heads south through Stockport towards Wilmslow at the bottom, before turning and heading back north. Test visible is, from top to bottom, Manchester, Dukinfield, Hyde, Stockport, Wilmslow and Bollington.

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

A 5 metre high by 3 metre wide black and white mural of Phil Foden (Manchester City player and a Stockport lad) on a red brick wall. Leaning by the bottom right corner of the mural is a white bike with black wheels, drivetrain, saddle and handlebars. In the very top left of the mural, in orange, it states "MANCHESTER MURALS".

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

Dougie (rear), and me, having a rest after another slow climb out of Diggle. I have an orange helmet, poking out is the peak of my cap with ITALIA printed on it. I have on large, blue sunglasses and a gold coloured, brown trimmed, Dukinfield CC jersey. Dougie has the same except for a yellow cap and a blue gilet over his Duks jersey. From bottom left to top-middle is the road heading towards Huddersfield. There is a grey car parked on the right of view, with a black car in front of it. Brush and moorland are on the left and right of the road.

Looking out towards Greenfield from the top of the steep Tunstead Lane! There are four horses in a field, hills in the background and lots of local stone houses in the centre of the view. The sky is overcast and grey.

Looking down towards Diggle from the top of the steep Huddersfield Road! The road heads down from the bottom left to mid-right of shot. There is a 30 mph sign to the far right. Hills and brown/green moorland are in the background. The sky is overcast and grey.

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

An image of a bicycle propped up by the side of the road. In the distance are hills, taking up the top half of the image, and hazy, blue sky. In the centre of the image, going left to right, is a two lane road heading down to the right. The bike is in the bottom of the image, pointing forward in a 2 o'clock position. The bike is cream coloured, with black handlebars, wheels, saddle, chainset and mudguards. On the bike's downtube is an orange bidon.

Looking forward to our 2022 Santa Run!
