    Some good beginners cycling social events in Manchester but its the wrong time of year unfortunately with not much on...Chorlton Wanderers & Stockport Community Cycling have occasional runs at the moment but things get better in the Spring...Web search Skyride (Manchester)events next year.They are really good.Its women only runs from them at the moment.Bicycledoctor website has a list of links to most Manchester local groups.
    If new To Manchester something different and fun to try this time of year is the Velodrome taster for pure beginners.(its inexpensive).Its near Man City football ball ground.Check their website for Availablity though

  • thanks for the answer jc4lab yeah ive heard about the beginners sessions at the velodrome also the skyrides, TBH i was looking for other new riders to ride with so that we can help each other out really, gaz
  • Alright Gaz,

    I'm fairly new to it and living in Manchester.

    Got my first road bike towards the end of summer but haven't been out a great deal recently due to the weather. If we get a good clear weekend i'd be up for a ride.

    I'm currently living by Salford Quays where abouts are you?
