Thursday's Hill Climb was well organized by Manchester Wheelers' Club. From my viewing spot 5/6 minutes up the climb it looked hard! Manchester's Chris Dyke got to the top in just 19:47 ahead of Congleton's Ben Norbury and local rider Bhima Bowden who were both neck and neck where I was stood watching. Photos from Ken Norbury below. Next event is 17th August with Macclesfield Wheelers. https://t.co/xBwLlZA7J2

Monday Night's bicycle race, run by Westmead Team 88 was won by local rider Bhima Bowden with Jack Green a close 2nd. Bhima's 47s lead by the 2nd layby was getting reduced in the 2nd half by Jack's superior skill on the flat/descending roads near the top but he ran out of road with a 33s deficit by the top. Times were slow (24/25 mins) due to the conditions. Next event is 28th July run by Manchester Wheelers

Spring

An exquisite day for it.

Wouldn't be spring without a bit of hail & snow.

Gorgeous day for a bike ride!
