A warm sunny evening with a light breeze brought a large field out for a Wednesday 10. A mix of club members battling for Guardian Cup points, and non-members out for their time against the clock. Fastest time of the evening was that of our own Matt Nowell, now pro rider with Bike Channel Canyon […]
Macc Wheelers 23rd May 17 – “Fortune Fa
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. As most of you know, I am somewhat of an early bird, but on this occasion, I managed to even beat the birds by getting up a ridiculous 1:30 am!! This […]
Guardian Cup – Points after 2 rounds
Ahead of round 3 tomorrow, here are the standings thus far. Still early days, but early improved rides from Ben Jones and Paul Connor mean that they are at the top of the table in positions 1 and 2 respectively, with Dave Fearon also showing early season form. All to play for though, and plenty […]
Stone Wheelers 25 – 20th May 2017
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 […]
Club 10’s – Guardian Cup Round 2 – 17th
Another good night after the light rain of the afternoon with little wind and some good times recorded. Not quite as fast as last week but no complaints apart from the usual excuses. Jim Duffy showed his blistering form with a near PB for club 10’s of 22:42 but his PB was set on a much […]

Dave Astles Cheshire Series #4 – 16th Ma
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. I suppose first of all, I think I need to give the TLI National Closed Circuit race last Sunday a bit of a mention, not […]
M&DTTA 25 Championship – 13th May 2017
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. Fortunately the event was a preference to Manchester DC riders so all of the returned entries were people from other areas. Weaver Valley had […]
Club 10’s – Guardian Cup Round 1 – 10th
Last night saw the start of the Season long club 10’s and this Year the format of the series has changed slightly. Previously the series was a handicap competition with points gained in each riders’ 5 best rides counting towards their final score in the Guardian Cup. However there are 10 rounds in total so […]

Also a new initiative has been set-up to encourage more people to volunteer a small amount of time to help out at events thus securing the future of the sport. Participant numbers are up but unfortunately races are dropping off the calendar due […]
Dave Astles Cheshire Series – Event 3 8t
A fine sunny evening with scorching temperatures of around 16 deg greated riders as they arrived at the HQ, a far cry from events when I last raced here 2 weeks ago. I didnt have this race in mind when I entered the Tour of the Peak a few months ago, it seemed like a […]
Gone fishin’
A chilly but bright Sunday morning promised much and the day certainly delivered. At the rugby club, bright eyed and bushy tailed were, Paul, Mark, Jules, another Paul, Colin, Geoff, Matt, one more Paul, Me and Dylan. Dylan was resplendent in a shiny new club jersey but he was a half an hour early as he was […]
