cant_ride Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Allo.. I moved from 'the South' up to manc (Stockport) about 7 months ago and wanted to know if anyone rides street up here? I've only got a bust up old curtis at the moment but recent procurement of (underpaid) work will soon bring a shiny new 24" Let me know.

Muel Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have been known to ride in the past, but I'm selling up now. There's one other local rider though, I'll point him at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I would consider coming down to touch you occasionally on the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacecottrials Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i would be willing to ride manc the odd weekend as i often go to manc to see my girlfriend and quite often need a break...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant_ride Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) to see my girlfriend and quite often need a break...... Why do you think I want to get out on the bike!!! Dan, I'd be more tempted to ride Leeds instead to be honest.. some good lines in Manc but its full of bloody personage getting in my royal way!

isitafox Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Must be some good spots in stockport, once met a guy on the big steps between the shopping centre an the bus station having a bod about. There's a bike shop near bredbury that deals more in bmx stuff, they might know some good places to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bike shop near bredbury that deals more in bmx stuff, they might know some good places to ride! that was pretty much the only half decent place I found in stockport, there were some planters near dawsons too but they were crap to be honest. I bet with exploration something good might turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've never ridden stockport, i've spoken to a couple of guys about it who both said it was shite. :/ Buxton's not so bad, it can be a proper full day's ride if you go everywhere.

cant_ride Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Sweet, Well I'm crap for organising so get in touch when you want to trek into manc. In a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant_ride Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Right... I'll have my bike sorted by this time next month (give or take a few days) so everyone get their ass over to Manchester, or Buxton, or wherever else has a decent day's ride. Saying that it'll be my first time riding for about 4 years and I'll be brakeless due to my lack of cash so I'll probably be nackered and badly hurt by noon!

Andy Vox Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Buxton is a brilliant ride. go there quite often, there is also some mint natural about 8 miles away if thats what your into. I live in Macclesfield just down the road from stockport, never rode there though, or manchester. I always wanted to ride manchester but could never decide if it would be good or id just be wandering around all day looking for spots. I would be well up for a buxton or manc ride. im sure liam would be up for coming too :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theom Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Been wanting to ride manc for while, few of us would be up for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
