As usual, myself and a few others will be doing the annual bike ride
from Manchester city centre to Blackpool on Sunday 8th July.
If there are any budding distance riders out there also thinking of
doing this ride, then you're more than welcome to join us. This is the
North West's biggest bike ride with about 4500 bikes riding the 60 mile
route. Please note though that this sort of distance is a long way on
the one wheel, so please make sure that you're physically up for it.
You'll need a 36" uni or a geared 29" for this ride. The longest cranks
that our group will be using will be 125's. My wife Wendy and the kids
will be supporting in the van as usual. i.e. at 20 miles, 40 miles and
at the finish at 60 miles. She's more than happy to supply food and
drinks to all that join us, but obviously can not be in two places at
the same time. As long as you can maintain an 11mph average, then
you'll have no problem keeping up.
Here's the link to register www.bike-events.com
This can be done on-line.
The start in Manchester has been moved slightly to the Outdoor events
arena at Castlefield. Details are on the website. The entry fee is £13.
We'll be at the start at 7.30 on the Sunday morning for all those who
are coming along.
