Topper Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Is there anyone on this forum from around Cheshire at all that meet for ride outs?I am always on the look out for ride outs.I am off into wales tomorrow if anyone is interested? Quote
bmwdave Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 just noticed this post - ignore my pm, I haven't got enough time tomorrow to do Wales, maybe another Sunday if we get enough decent weather. Quote
Topper Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 just give me a shout Dave when you are planning a trip out. I normally go quite early at weekend to beat the mad rush.The roads are quiet then and it makes for a better ride.Also Thursdays at the Raven make for an interesting couple of hours there and back with a brew Quote
pitintheuk Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Hello Both,Might be in your riding area: I plan to go discover some Peak District roads, weather allows, this Sat or Sun (I live SE of Manchester).Maybe you know the "good" roads to do, or maybe just want to discover them? We can go together if you fancy... as long as we go easy I am a rather quiet rider, most of the time, to let you know. Especially on UK roads, I am pretty new on them, and they do not feel as "comfortable" as the Swiss and German roads I am used to.pit Quote
bmwdave Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 I'm good for Sunday and the weather forecast is good. We could meet locally, I'm in Stockport and I guess you're Didsbury/Burnage/Levenshulme area. Tescos car park somewhere is usually an easy landmark to find. I'll message topper and we could meet him at J&S and head on from there. How does 10.30 sound? Quote
Topper Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 If I wasn't going to "ride to wall" on Saturday, I would have joined you both soz.maybe next time eh.............. or join the wall ride?Tops Quote
bmwdave Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 I'm working Saturday, but if you want to do the Wall I can recommend it, a great day out and quite moving at the Wall . Quote

pitintheuk Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Actually I live in Denton. Which is on the way. 10.30 is good. May I propose Denton Morrisons to meet? (I do not know which Tesco you refer and also not yet knowing J&S )Pit Quote
Mtriple8 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I live in Cheshire. Middlewich to be precise. With a bit of notice I can do most days and every other weekend. Be good to get out on the bike with other people. Let me know Quote
mikestrivens Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Hi, I'm near Stockport and will be available from Friday 29th for a shortish ride. Depends a bit on the weather as I'm rather a fair weather rider. Quote
Topper Posted December 30, 2017 Author Posted December 30, 2017 Hi Mikebike is wrapped up for winter at mo......... or for those exceptionally rare sunny winter days we might get.Keep an eye out on this thread though and I will post if I am heading out anywhere. Quote
mikestrivens Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Last minute decision to go for a wonderful ride through the Peak District. Lovely sunny day about 5-8 degrees still snow in north facing gullies but the roads mostly dryish. I went from Disley on the back roads down to Whaley Bridge then to Chapel on B5470 and onwards to the Edale loop (spectacular views of Kinder Scout. On to Castleton and Winnats Pass to Sparrowpit back to Chapel and then down the A5004 to Buxton. Then the A537 (the most dangerous road in Britain) Cat and Fiddle to Macclesfield. Then back towards Whaley Bridge on B5470 cutting off back to Disley. I have done this ride many times and I'm still learning. There was lots of grit and stones on the road where the gritting lorries and run off had deposited their stuff, so always good to take it easy. The Sat Nav on the phone is good to give prior warning of bends, but this route requires 100% concentration.My new Rukka Nivala jacket and trousers were fantastic, warm and comfortable. I need to get some new spectacles though as mine keep falling down my face - rather annoying. Quote
Topper Posted June 9, 2018 Author Posted June 9, 2018 Anyone out and about this weekend near me?Up for a bimble if anyone is aroundTops Quote
Beansie Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Heading out shortly more than likely into the Peak District though, wish I’d checked this page out yesterday! Quote
mikestrivens Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Went for a ride out this morning on my favourite route from Disley to Whalley Bridge, Chapel, Edale loop to Hope and then Castleton to Winnats Pass then headed down towards the Yondermann Cafe on A623. There were loads of bikers there and some very interesting old bikes. The sun certainly brought them out. Nice brew with friendly people. Too early for the heart attack special as I'd not long had breakfast at home. Then took the back roads over to Buxton, Congleton and Macclesfield and back to Disley. Lovely route dry roads and slightly overcast so not cooking in the leather jacket. Tried out my new Hood jeans - brilliant. Nice to see English firms producing quality gear. Lots of people out on motor bikes, push bikes, walking, open top cars - perfect English weather for being outdoors. Back home to lube chain and remove bugs splattered over helmet and bike. Quote
mikestrivens Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Well I timed that well. Just got bike cleaned and lubed and it started raining. Quote
Topper Posted June 16, 2018 Author Posted June 16, 2018 No worries lad, maybe next time.Had a good ride up to the Cat & Fiddle and then over to Matlock and back. All was good Quote
Beansie Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I did the cat and fiddle and decided to head towards Matlock too but it starting looking very miserable so turned around and as soon as I got near the cat and fiddle again the weather was lovely. I also washed the bike and the car and as soon as I put everything away it started raining! Need to get a ride out sorted considering we take similar routes. Quote
Topper Posted June 23, 2018 Author Posted June 23, 2018 anyone around from the Warrington area. I am out down to Raven and then up to ponderosa tomorrow Pip. Just not sure what time though.I think it will probably be an early start and get back for dinner Quote
Topper Posted August 19, 2018 Author Posted August 19, 2018 Anyone out and about cheshire or north wales next weekend/ maybe meet up for a brew even if not a ride Quote
