Thanks Oizuki, No need to bring anything. Formthe Car park, walk towards the river and we'll be based just the other side of the bridge. See you at Half six tomorrow.

The Club is hosting round three of the midweek mtb madness series at Chorlton Water Park on Wednesday June 13th.

I'll need at least 12 helpers to help make this a successful event. Please could you let me know if you can make it down?

Marshall briefing will be at 18:30 ahead of thee race startign at 19:15. However, I will need a couple of people to come down earlier to help set up and to marshal teh go-ride coaching session which starts at 18:00.

If you have any specific cake or fizzy drink requirements, please let me know and I'll try to accommodate!

Race details are avaialable here https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/175588/Midweek-MTB-Madness-2018---Chorlton-Water-Park

I've put another series of these rides up on the list. It'd be great to get some new faces coming along this Thursday.

Hi Ruth, I'm able to help on the Sunday again.

If anyone else wants to make a ride out of it, I'll be riding to Lancaster afterwards via the Trough of  Bowland weather premitting.

Jon G came in 26th in the Racer Category at Midweek Mtb Madness on Thursday despite spending the afternoon lugging traffic cones around for me setting up the course!

Thanks very much to everyone who came down and helped last night. We had a lot of positive feedback from riders and the British Cycling team.

Hi,
Thanks to all those who have volunteered in the last few days.

in terms of logistics, the address for Chorlton water park is:
Chorlton Water Park, Car Park, Maitland Avenue, Manchester, M21 7WH

The race HQ is by the bridge over the Mersey, if you follow the path through the water park it should be obvious.

Please be there by 6:30 pm tomorrow so we can brief you, and get you in position ahead of the race which starts at 7:15 pm and will last bout an hour.

If anyone can get down earlier, that would be great. We are running a Go-ride event and Scott has had some of his helpers pull out.

Finally, please be prepared for rain. We've had great weather for the last few years now and lit looks like our luck may run out so bring your waterproofs and something warm!

Cheers

Charles

Ok, So far I've got eight people who have confirmed that they can help. For this to run smoothly I need at least another five or six. If you can help, please follow the link to the google form in the first post so I know how much help to expect. If you'd like to bring a friend or loved one along to keep you company that'd be even better!

Needless to say, these types of event simply can't happen without lots of wonderful volunteers so if you have enjoyed a recent event, please do consider signing up. I will be very grateful to anyone who turns up and will make sure you are looked after with cake, drinks and radios to play with!

Cheers

I thought I'd start a thread for these rides. to provide a bit more info.

Where  - Coffee Fix in Gatley
When - Every Thursday, setting of at 18:30
What - Fast training rides. Routes vary each week and are generally agreed at the meet rather than pre-planned. Feel free to turn up with ideas (but do not suggest Mow Cop!). These will be at least 60km long and have been known to be up to 80km with 1000m plus of climbing. The aim is to be done for around 21:00. Although the pace is often a bit anti-social, we will stop and re-group at the top of any climbs.   
Why - Because you know you should do structured training but prefer to just chase people up hills!

Dear all,
The Manchester Wheelers are hosting round 2 of the Midweek Mountain Bike Madness series again this year on June 8th at Kenworthy Woods (just across the Mersey from Chorlton Water Park).

This is a big event with well over  riders last year and I need lots of help to ensure its a success again this year. 

If you are free, please go to the link below and sign up for a role so I have a rough idea of who will be helping and when. Feel free to sign up for more than one role if you can! I'd be particularly grateful to anyone who can get down nice and early (2pm onwards) to help set things up.

Many thanks

Charles
