Where and when we meet for rides:

We regular meet up at the Rising Sun in Hazel Grove every week at 09.30 for club rides. Distances of our rides tend to be 50-70 but oncea month we try to do 100 miles flat or 80 hilly miles but we do adjust these depending on the riders and weather conditions.

We also meet up every Wednesday evening for a mtb. We set off at 19.15 from the car park opposite the Arden Arms in Stockport. The ride is usually about 2.5 - 3 hours. 

The club has a wealth of experience and always makes sure that our new riders are looked after on their first few rides. We pride ourselves in riding in a disciplined and safe manner and respect our fellow road users. For example we acknowledge cars that wait and pass us safely, we single file when safe and appropriate to do so. We also slow down for horses and chat to them as we pass, so that we don’t startle them.
