Chorlton Wanderers

Chorlton Wanderers Fancy a relaxed bike ride in an informal group rather than a club run? Then Chorlton Wanderers is fo We are an informal group rather than an organised club.

If you are looking to join other cyclists for a gentle Sunday ride, perhaps you should give Chorlton wanderers a try. We meet once a month for a leisurely bike ride around the lanes of south Manchester / Cheshire of around 35 miles, taking in a pub lunch, enjoying the scenery and general chat. If you’ve not ridden for a while or are looking for a relaxed way to find new routes and friends, then the Wanderers are for you. We meet on the second Sunday of the month in Chorlton Water Park car park, off Maitland Road, at 10am, returning at around 4pm. You don’t need any paperwork or formality. You just need to turn up with a road worthy bicycle, a puncture repair kit and (given the Manchester weather) a water proof. Children over 15 are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Given the mileage, younger children can join if on trailer bikes or baby seats. So if you are looking for an enjoyable day out, come and join us on our Wanderings. The Chorlton Wanderers rides replace the Dawdling Doctors rides that were run by the Bicycle Doctor shop in Rusholme.

Information on this Sunday's Chorlton Wander from ride leader Josh:-

"Hi everyone,

Next Wander will be a mostly flat but longish route to Northwich via Cheshire lanes.

Meet this Sunday at 10 am for a 10.15 departure from Chorlton Water Park.

Lunch will be about 1 pm at The Bowling Green, Northwich so bring snacks if you need them!

The ride will be 45-50 miles through Cheshire lanes, mostly flat with only gentle inclines.

It's virtually all paved apart from a few miles or so of well compacted gravel - good for almost all bikes except those with the skinniest tyres.

Hope to see you all there.

Josh"

A quick overview of the Chorlton Wanders for Q1 (including this coming Sunday's Wander with a change of lunch venue).
We'll post the rest of the rides when we've completed the preparations.

January 8th Dunham, 28 miles, the Rope and Anchor pub

Route is through the Cheshire lanes but does involve some short hill sections to stretch your legs before we drop down to the Rope and Anchor in Dunham Woodhouses. Nothing too demanding!



February 12th Lymm, 32 miles, the Golden Fleece pub

Out via Bucklow Hill, Hoo Green and Sworton Heath before dropping into the centre of Lymm. There are a couple of short climbs that are not too challenging



March 12th Little Bollington, 33 miles, Ye Olde Number 3 pub

This ride is mostly flat, with one long gradual climb, the reward being a nice descent just before arriving at the pub
