 smack the shit out of my pubic bone Member 1902, 919 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 230500.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Cuddles said:That'll be a nice ride. What bike you ordered Burky? There is another one around Cheshire that looks good as well. I've ordered an on-one, dirty disco  It's a 'cross bike with disc breaks so should be good for a year round commuter. http://www.ukcyclocross.com/profiles/blogs/on-one-dirty-disco-... | ||

 Member 174, 1235 posts | Burky said:Just signed up to my first Sportive, really looking forward to it: http://www.jodrellbankclassic2013.blogspot.co.uk/ Just doing the 50 mile option. Really hope my new bike arrives in time  That's just a brilliant part of the country to ride in. I used to head out from Stoke to Leek, then Macclesfield, Whaley Bridge, Buxton, Leek and back to Stoke. Not a huge amount of miles, but quite a heavy ride at times. I reckons you'll have a great time doing that Burky. | ||

 What's your thoughts on one legged drills? Member 1725, 4343 posts SQ 250, BP 125, DL 272.5647.5 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | All set just hoping it dont get cancelled. Should be a good experience just going to sit on all the race then unleash hell on the sprint | ||

Burky, are you thinking of the Cheshire Cat? | ||

If I was in a group with you, I wouldn't leave your wheel for love nor money, a big lad like you would lead me out perfectly | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Cuddles said: There are some serious f**king hills around Macclesfield.

It was a long hard slog from day's house to where mum lived just on the outside of Macclesfield on the Buxton Road. The Cat and Fiddle road from Macclesfield to Buxton is certainly a challenging road (I believe it also has the highest motorcycle death rate!) | ||

It's a steep one alright. The 'killer mile' is only seven or eight miles from where I grew up and is a bit of a bas***d. Not long at all, but short and sharp.

Cat and Fiddle is a great ride, but you are right about the motorbike fatalities. The amount that used to fly past us on past on a Sunday run at eye-watering speeds was staggering. | ||

Burky, are you thinking of the Cheshire Cat? Indeed. It just sorts of rolls all the way to Macc and then gets hard on the way back to Buxton and then Buxton to Leek. Good times. Coming back from Buxton once at the start of winter I had to stop and piss on my hands as I couldn't feel my fingers. Not such good times. | ||

Member 1725, 4343 posts SQ 250, BP 125, DL 272.5647.5 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Bloody race got cancelled I am very confident in my ablilty and sprint on flat courses if it gets lumpy then I would be out the bike I regularly ride with cat 2 lads and they can't drop me on the flat. Gutte about race but not to worry the first of 4 reliability rides start on Sunday will try stay with the front group which will be going a long at 20+ looking at last years times eeeek | ||
