December rides and our first No Bike Needed Social
Due to the freezing cold weather, we had to cancel the December ride to Tatton Park, but this has now been rescheduled for Saturday 7th January 2023.
Bex came to the rescue and squeezed a nice 11 miler in on Sunday 18th December for a couple of us still braving the chilly and mostly wet conditions. The cakes (and beer) were very much needed.
Its Christmas!!!
Ten riders came for the Christmas social, our first no bike needed social, at The Cockatoo Lounge in the village, where Lola Lasagne was performing.
See our No Bike Needed socials below for details of a regular night out and a theatre trip.

Zwift training and virtual rides
The Venn diagram for LGBTQ+, Cylcists and Zwifters is probably pretty small and we didn’t want to reinvent the wheel by creating a specific Rainbow Riders for a small number of people when group riding is one of the best features of Zwift.
We’ve been invited to join the UK LGBTQ+ Zwift Team, open to the UK LGBTQ+ cycling community, the team is made up of Zwifters from Out Velo, CycleOut London, LDN Riders, PRiDE OUT, OutdoorLads, and Rainbow Riders.

Virtual social rides are held every Tuesday at 19:30 along with other rides too, you can join the Zwift chat on Discord.

Theatre trip
The Altrincham Garrick is hosting a season of LGBTQ+ stories and the next play in the line up is the Tony Award winning Love! Valour! Compassion!
Some Rainbow Riders are attending on Thursday 02 February, and its an open invitation to anyone that might like to come along, just book yourself a ticket.

First Friday Frolics
A little regularity can make things easier to plan, as such we thought we’d make a no bike needed social on the first Friday of each month.
Beginning Friday 3rd February we’ll be meeting up from 7pm. We’re just confirming the best location, do you have any suggestions for a venue?
