    Right, so following a previous thread talking about moving house and the surrounding terrain etc, it looks like Farrell was right (thanks!) and we’re moving to just outside Congleton. It will be a while yet (I’m guessing October/November) until we actually move, but I note that Congleton CC meet up at 09:30 on a sunday, which is too late for me. I like to meet up for 8 and get back around 12 – this way my family and my cycling aren’t competing for my time too much – is anyone else in the area, prefers the early start, and is up for riding together? I generally like to ride 50-60 miles with some good climbs over about 4 hours.

    Cool, sounds a bit quick for me currently, but I reckon I could work back up to that. I’ll bear it in mind, thanks.

    I’m looking forward to it. I’m currently in Manchester so usually get into the goyt etc or occasionally mow cop, which I can see from the new house! My favourite bit of the club run though is the mad dash back into Manchester. It’s often race pace for the last 20-30 mins, and it’s not the same on your own. Still, I’m cool with my own company, so let’s see how it goes.

    Even if you go by yourself, Its a great area for riding. You have the lovely flat Cheshire and some of the best roads in a the Peak for riding around – Lamaload / Goyt Valley.

    Not my area I am afraid but I know the feeling. I can’t join a cycling club as they all go too late and impinge on family life. I tend to ride early either with a few regulars or solo (better training that way anyway).
    I don’t know whether go sky ride is any use ?
