    I'll be away, working for 11 days just prior to the ride.
    So, I'll come home and go straight to Alderly Edge!
    If I'm lucky (unlucky :shock: ) I'll have access to an excercise bike and I'll give the Tabata Intervals a go!
    I think I'll bring a sick bag.... For the top of the climbs :shock:

    Nah, not my Royal Mail issue in Anfield red this time. I'll use my cheap and nasty "Lance EPO fuelled bought by nobody with a right idea would buy anything other than Campag shod Italian (really Taiwanese) framed marketing shite" Trek, If it's dry of course :wink:

    Super.

    I don't know whether to go with the Compact on the Zipps or the Standard on the Open Pros...

    I may feel a change of brake pads coming on and using the Open Pros on the Look!

    10am's good for me...

    freehub, somewhere back in the threads, I believe it states Alderly Edge station - village side! That's from memory, though... Hopefully someone will confirm this :roll:

    Did Holmes Chap - Mow Cop - Lask Edge - Wincle - Holmes Chap today.

    I think I'm going to do it on the compact a week sunday, managed it all but it was, erm, interesting.

    :shock:

    Winter training rides haven't started yet and this won't conflict with the normal Sunday run which is (how shall I put it?) a touch leisurely. Put it on the website. I'm sure you'll get lots of interest.

    I do feel a little embarrassed, it's just a little social ride :oops:

    I will mention it.

    If anyone has a better way then mine to get from Alderley Edge to Mow Cop, let me know.

    I know a way that involves less main roads but it's about 10 miles longer and I'm mindful to keep this ride suitable for everyone...

    City aren't playing so I should be ok to come along.
    Just back from holidays in France - cycled most days, usually 4km to pick up pain au chocolat from the Boulangerie. I've put on 4kg so Mow Cop may be a challenge!

    Did you have a good time?

    Weather has been rubbish here...

    Kids back to school this week so you should finally get some peace and quiet!

    Think I will try to make this too (weather permitting), if only to finally meet popette! Will try not to knacker my wheels on the way to the start this time... :roll:

    Welsh Row/Nursery Lane/Sossmoss Lane has been closed for ages now. They're buliding some kind of bypass. Chorley Hall lane is the alternate route...
