Reading Time: 4 minutes First of all, I would like to apologise to Dave Fearon, I used to complain about the length of his reports, and now I am just as bad, if not probably worse! I am even in danger of boring myself, let alone you lot!!😩 In preparation for this ride, having never ridden the Anfield 100 […]

Macc Wheelers 23rd May 17 – “Fortune Fa
Reading Time: 5 minutes Here we are again, same course (Siddington), just a different name over the door, this time Macclesfield Wheelers. My day didn’t start too good.

Stone Wheelers 25 – 20th May 2017
Reading Time: 3 minutes This is the fastest course in the Manchester District on the A50 at Blythe Bridge. It is also very likely that this will the last event on this road for a few seasons if not ever, as major road-works over the coming years will prevent racing. So the event was massively over subscribed and the […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes The curtain came down on the series tonight, and what a fantastic series it has been, well done to all the organisers, very safe and very well run as usual.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Today was the Manchester District 25 mile championship and as has been the trend this season to date, it was massively oversubscribed with getting on for 200 entries for 120 places.
