February 2023 news

February rides

Bex led a group on a nice flat ride out to Media City and back via the Man Utd stadium and 8 billion fans, which was an unexpected turn of events but quite a laugh.

There was a slightly hillier and longer ride on 19th February. It was more of a road based ride heading out toward Oldham and back through Alt and Park Bridge.

There was some distant views of Hartshead Pike and some much needed downhills following a climb up Chamber Road in Oldham.

Our upcoming events are now on Spond

We’ve tried facebook events and eventbrite but after a bit of research we’ve decided to use Spond. Its an app for sports clubs, however if you don’t want to use the dedicated app and receive notifications for upcoming events, you can get invites by email or text direct instead.

We think this will be easier sharing through different social media accounts etc. We really appreciate your patience while we have been getting to grips with things!
