I'm a member of the very fine Manchester Wheelers but they're really for south Manchester. Just wondering if there are any clubs up my way? The BCF site lists all clubs, I know, but you can't tell if they're active or not.

    I think the short answer is no. I had a look when I was wanting to join a club and ended up joining the Wheelers because Bolton and Rochdale are actually further away than Parrswood for me.

    I have led a few Wheelers rides starting from Prestwich but attendance has been low, probably because the majority of club members are based in South Manchester

    Thanks! Just had a peek at the site, I seeyou have John the trainer from the velodrome in your club ("Stay on the cote d'azuRRRR!"). I guess to go to a club run I can use the contact detail for more info?

    C'mon MW is very south Manchester-centric, can't be arsed to ride all the way to Dids on a Sunday morning... Not planning to leave MW, just need to find some riding buddies up here in the frozen north.

    Hi
    I'm in Prestwich. Don't know what you are looking for in a club or your fitness levels but I ride out on a Sunday, weather permitting, with Bury CTC. There are a few maniacs [only MO of course] that do the A ride on a regular basis which is usually about 100miles at a fair old pace. I've done it a few times but would rather stick with the 60/70 mile runs and still be able to walk when I get home. I ride up to meet them at Wilkinsons on a Sunday morning for 9am.

    Do you still go out on Sunday mornings? I'm looking to do a bit of cycle touring whilst I'm in Manchester.
