« on: September 19, 2017, 04:34:41 PM »

Ridley X-Ride Frameset - size 54cm

Ridden for 1 season, but Andy's feet are too big and catch on the chain stay so some paint has rubbed off.
Otherwise in excellent condition and ready to build up and be a great cross bike again.

Photos available on facebook, or give me a shout and I can send some over.

Club events & results / Everesting Wheeler

« on: July 30, 2017, 02:19:26 PM »

One of our very own track supremos and all round top club members Karl McLelland is doing that crazy Everesting thing on the 26th August!

Please give him some support if you can...

I will be attempting a cycling 'everesting', that is to cycle up and down
the same hill, until I have achieved 8,848 vertical metres (the height of
Everest).

I want to use the day to raise funds for 2 charities:-

. When You Wish Upon A Star, based in Stockport
. Lagan's Foundation in Bolton.

I am looking for support please via:

Or, by coming along on the day & riding a few loops with me.

Club events & results / Manchester Wheelers 2-Day 26-27th August

« on: July 03, 2017, 06:03:03 PM »

Right then this is the early warning post - starting it now to make sure no one can say they didn't get enough notice!!!

So our hugely successful and always well attended 2 Day stage race is happening again this year with thanks to Charles G and Rich B for doing some leg work as I will be somewhat out of action after back surgery on the 12th July.

This means we need a small army of helpers to make it as amazing as usual. Everyone is very welcome to get involved - new and old members alike.

Day 1 is at Tameside Cycle Circuit
Day 2 on the Oakenclough RR circuit (just outside Garstang)

Please can I get a show of hands for people available and willing to help. Day 2 is the most people intensive and if you are one of our more northern members then this is your chance to pitch and help out.

Day 1 - approx 10-12 volunteers needed
Day 2 - 25 ish needed

I look forward to a rush of volunteers, and if you ticked that you would be able to help when you joined then watch out for my message taking you up on the offer.

Ta very much
Ruth xx

Club events & results / TLI Oulton Park Series

« on: April 25, 2017, 09:03:37 AM »

Entries are open for this great series at Oulton Park - there are races for newbies as well as the standard age related races. Being run by Weaver Valley - usually some great racing to be had so get yourselves entered.
TLI is much cheaper to join than BC so not expensive to get a race licence  (just join).

Enjoy 😆

Club events & results / Tameside Race League - Volunteers.

« on: April 21, 2017, 12:04:21 PM »

Hi there,
So new forum means a new post with all the info for people who are willing to come along and help out at the Tameside race league - the Wheelers have responsibility for 5 events over the course of the summer (we've already done one) and we need around 6 people each time to come along and be useful so that the races can run safely.

Don't worry if you've never helped before none of the jobs are too complicated and there is usually someone else around who has done it before. It's a great way to meet other members and have a catch up. The racing is often great (and crashes happen ) so if you are thinking about having a go at the racing come along and see how it works.

People need to arrive at the circuit to help around 5:45-6pm as racing starts at 6:15 for the titchy people.

Our dates for this season are:

2nd May
23rd May
27th June
25th July

Please let me know if you can help and which dates you are available.

Thanks
Ruth
