Club Events are a great way to start time trialling in a friendly and encouraging environment and a nice way to get to know everyone in the Club. We run a series of Time Trials fortnightly on Thursday nights throughout the summer. These consist of 10 mile events in Lower Withington and a Hill Climb up The Cat and Fiddle. They are a great way to measure your progress and meet other members. For first claim members there is a handicap and scratch competition and if the event is full they will have priority.

Event Details

The entry fee for club events is £3.00 per event payable on the night. Entries will be run on a first come, first serve basis. If you wish for an early ride, please turn up early. If you would like an early/late start please inform the organiser 7 days in advance and we will try to arrange a start time suitable. 

10 Mile Events

Our 10 mile time trial course is in Lower Withington (Lower Withington, Macclesfield, SK11 9EA). View course map.

HQ is now at Lower Withington Methodist Church Hall opposite the village green (here). Parking, toilets and changing facilities will be available.  

Hill Climb

Our club hill climb is up the cat and fiddle. We start from the Macclesfield side and finish at the top! Sign on in Fence Avenue. View course map.

Club Handicap Championship

The Manchester Wheelers' Handicap Championship is made up of the Club Time Trials, plus an Open 25 and an Open 50 mile event. Points are awarded for positions in each event, so everyone has a chance of winning. The Championship is generally closely fought with different people leading the competition at various points and Mike Cleary was a worthy winner in 2010.

Marshalling

All riders wishing to compete for a final place in either the handicap competition or time trial series will be expected to marshall at at least one event. This is optional but 100 points are available in both competitions to count towards overall classification. Please inform the organiser at least 7 days before the event if you wish to marshal, if all marshalling places have been allocated then the rider will have to offer on another date.
