Hey I am a Londoner exiled in Manchester for three years,
(some degree thingy I got roped into ;)) and my normal ride
is out south towards buxton and back. If i manage the whole
ride it is just over 50 miles which is plenty enough for me
on a saturday afternoon!

Mossley cycling club have club rides every sunday and
Mossley is not a million miles away from Oldham, we usually
go out into Cheshire to find some cycle friendly lanes We
meet about 10.00am. stop at a cafe for a drink and a snack,
getting back around 3.00/4.00 pm. [moderate pace]. If you
want to come on any of the rides you are more than welcome.

I'm in Hyde, I cycle for fitness/weight loss but still a beginner really,
twenty miles is a long way for me. I ride over Werneth Low, down into Marple
and back via Etherow valley, Charlesworth etc. tbh it's a bit bloody hilly
really, I keep meaning to get out into Chesire (a lap of Woodford to start,
a trip to Jodrell Bank etc) but these are a bit much for my "go riding once
the kids are in bed" regime ;-) also it involves ten miles either way of
suburban nightmare... need a car really but we only have the one, and Mrs B
would be v. upset if I vanished for the day AND took the car! Train from
Stockport would be OK but currently the line to Crewe is US and they are
running bus services :-(
re Oldham areas for cycling, well you've got my problem -
every route out that isn't vertical is urban sprawl. As a
raw unfit beginner that was a bit intimidating, if you are a
fit lad already I suppose you will be fine around the
Diggle/Delph area.
C+ had a route thing in this month about Manchester and
surrounding area.

Be fair. It's the only cycling magazine written in English
anywhere that's actually worth reading.

Because it was very funny. I was rewarding your wit.

No experience of it since the CTC seems like a complete
waste of time/money. But even with that said, Phil Liggett
is a Jolly Good Chap.

That *is* funny, because this thread reminded me of one a
few years back on "why are UK bike mags crap" or something
like that. I think it's inside Google's past light cone for
anyone who wants to search.
The only time I've ever bought those was the couple of times
the free gift on the cover was worth having, and then thrown
out the rag straight away before it could permanently taint
the spiritual vibes where I live.
