Bramhall U3A - Cycling Group

We plan to have rides roughly once a fortnight, varying the length and terrain to suit the abilities of the riders. We are definitely not expecting Tour de France performances! The rides will be suitably paced so that no one gets left behind.

If you would like to join us or need more information, please contact groups@bramhallu3a.org.uk with 'U3A Cycling Enquiry' as the subject

This month the Cycling Group pedalled to Marple by way of Torkington Park and the Middlewood Way. Continuing through the Goyt valley, we paused to admire Stockport Hydro hydro-electric generating station, which the Science For All Group visited last year. We returned to Stockport on the Alan Newton Way and Trans Pennine Trail. A pleasant ride along the River Mersey brought us to Cheadle where we called in for coffee, scones and bacon sandwiches.

Luckily the weather was very kind to us - no rain!

New members are always welcome. Rides are every two weeks either on Tuesday or Thursday. This last ride was quite long but we do shorter ones as well. They are quite leisurely, so no-one gets left behind. There is always the lure of a cafe stop to spur you on!

The Cycling Group restarted in February and currently has 17 members. We meet roughly every two weeks. Our rides are typically between 10 and 20 miles although one or two have been longer. Destinations have included Styal, Didsbury, Airport Viewing Park, Tatton Park and Marple. Along the way we have all discovered new and interesting ways of getting out of Bramhall via little-used tracks and byways. All rides are taken at a gentle pace to suit the slowest rider and there is always a cafe stop so that we can chat and recharge our batteries en route. New members are always welcome. At present the men outnumber the ladies by 2 to 1 so more ladies are especially welcome. Dave Rowell
